| It's always difficult to watch someone celebrate after taking a bad beat in poker, but Brandon Markland (Dagsboro, DE) took his defeat with class, wishing his table mates luck as he departed the final table. |
The final table was approached moments ago, with Michael Marks and Brandon Markland heads up, on a flop of Q♠ 7♠ 2♦. Marks had opened the pot from late position, with Markland calling out of the big blind, leaving Brandon first to act on the flop. Markland would announce himself all-in for about 450,000, which was close to ninety-percent of Michael's remaining stack. Mark's made the call, and would need help, as his Q♣ 10♥ was dominated by Markland's A♦ Q♥. The 6♦ on the turn only strengthened Brandon's lead, but the 10♠ on the river would change everything. "That's how you do it," Marks exclaimed, as he stood from his seat, and clapped his hands in celebration. This was Markland's first cash since July of last year, when he finished 30th in Event #14 ($1,100 NLH) of the Florida State Poker Championships ($1,914).
