With 2,000 in the middle on a flop of A♣9♥7♣, Robert Latis fired out a bet of 1,200, and received a call from Filip Marchand.

The 6♠ hit on the turn, and Latis slid out a bet of 3,600. Marchand responded with a quick raise to 8,800, before Latis jammed with lightning speed with the covering stack. Marchand’s total stack of 41,200 was in the middle almost before Latis’ chips crossed the line.

Filip Marchand: 8♦5♦
Robert Latis: 6♥5♥

Latis was drawing to a chop against Marchand’s straight, and the 9♠ river sent a big early pot to Marchand.

Filip Marchand – 84,400
Robert Latis – 3,400
