Marquez Knocked Out

Jul 14, '13

Charlie Combes just made an end to Ana Marquez’s tournament. On a 279 flop Combes bet 1,100 and Marquez raised it up to 2,600. Combes proceeded to raise Marquez all in for 10,000 total and the Spanish pro made the call.

Marquez showed QQ against Combes’ AK.

The board ran out 3, K and Marquez was knocked out. Combes is now sitting on a huge 100,000-chip stack.

Marquez and Marafioti

Jul 14, '13

The field keeps growing and the later it gets the more pros are taking their seats. We’ve just spotted two more players who are always a force to be reckoned with.

Ana Marquez’s summer has been quite alright this year as she managed to take down the Hollywood Poker Open event for $320,189 more than two weeks ago. Marquez is playing again today hoping to add another nice score to her poker resume.

Marquez is sitting at the same table as Matt Marafioti who’s coming off a decent WSOP Main Event run. Marafioti cashed five times at the WSOP this year, but he did not managed to make it to a final table.

Bustout Bonanza

The first level of play on day 2 has seen a huge number of eliminations. We started the day with 221 players and by the time the first break began just 180 players remained. If this extreme pace of eliminations were to keep up for the rest of the day we would have a champion by the end of the night. Things will surely calm down during the next few levels though.

Ana Marquez Doubles Up

Ana Marquez got the last of her chips into the middle on the button with A K in the hole. Her opponent had her covered in middle position and he held A Q. The board ran out A 10 5 K 6 and Marquez doubled up to 60,000.

Rep Porter Grabs a Nice Pot

The board read A J 7 8 when Rep Porter bet 7,500 UTG+1. The big blind made the call and the river fell 10. Porter fired out 16,500 and his opponent made the call after some deliberation. Porter flipped over pocket nines for a straight and his opponent mucked. Porter was up to 150,000 after the hand.
