Edward Marcus Eliminated in 9th Place ($6,165)

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Edward Marcus - 9th place
Edward Marcus - 9th place

After quite a few all ins and double ups, we've finally had our first casualty of the final table.

From middle position Edward Marcus raised to 45,000. Chip leader Jason Baker re-raised to 100,000 from the big blind and Marcus shoved all in for around 250,000. Baker took no time at all in calling and it was easy to see why once the cards were face up.

Baker: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Marcus: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

There was no help for Marcus on the board of {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and he was eliminated in 9th place. He will take home $6,165 in prize money.

Jason Baker now sits at a very comfortable 1,015,000 in chips.
