Martin Markov

Fresh off a $40,000 score in Hollywood, Martin Markov is in search of another deep run and final table appearance here in Tampa. He recently played a big pot in position against Jordan Chizick that saw Markov make a tough call.

The board was Kc6c3hQh6s. Chizick checked. Markov bet 11,500. Chizick raised, making it 41,700 to go. Markov thought for a couple minutes, then reached into his stack for a call.

Markov: KsJd for top pair
Chizick: TsTc for third pair

Martin Markov picked off Jordan Chizick’s bluff

Markov raked the pot and jumped toward the top of the counts with about 175,000.

Julio Marrero

Julio Marrero shares a table with the aforementioned Nick Costarelis and has played some big pots as of late. Marrero previously held the chip lead with a stack of nearly 200,000. He’s back to reality over the last half hour or so surrendering nearly half that and currently sits at just over 100,000.

First, he was second best in a pot holding 5xXx against AxXx on an Ax5xXx5xAx board. A few hands later he and a lone opponent got 7,500 in preflop. The flop fell ace high and they got his opponent’s last 28,000 in — Marrero held AxTx while the opponent held AxQx. Marrero never improved.

Nick Costarelis

Nick Costarelis owns one of the biggest stacks in the room following break. Late in Level 8, he played a monster pot holding 9s9d on a 9c9h4s5hJh board. There was big action on the river and Costarelis’ quads left his opponent speechless. Costarlis raked a pile and has played it cool since retaining his big stack well in to Level 9.
