HomeVictor Chong and Michael Marvanek tangled in two hands almost back to back that crippled Marvanek down to low denomination chips. In the first hand, Marvanek raised to 1100 in mid position then got reraised to 2500 by Chong who was to his immediate left. After action folded around the table, Marvanek called and the flop dropped J♦ 9♠ 4♥. Marvanek checked, Chong bet 1800, and Marvanek called. At the turn of 2♣, Marvanek checked again, Chong shoved for his remaining 7375, and Marvanek decided not to call giving Chong the pot.
Shortly after, we caught the dealer counting out Chong’s chips after having just won with his A♦ J♣ straight against Marvanek who held Q♦ Q♥ set on a board showing K♥ 10♥ Q♣ 3♣ 5♣. Marvanek crippled down to around 5000.
