Marchese Turns Nuts, Wins 1.8 Million-Chip Pot

When we reached Table 391, the board read {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Nick Schulman checked, and Tom Marchese fired 235,000. Schulman called, and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Schulman checked again, and Marchese slid out 740,000.

Schulman tanked for over two minutes, throwing his hands up from time to time before finally cutting out enough chips to call. He then tanked for another half a minute or so, then committed the chips.

Marchese tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts, and Schulman mucked his hand, leaving himself with just 940,000 chips.
