Chris Moneymaker<\/a><\/strong> who called off a shove from Marchese with pocket kings against the latter\u2019s set. Moneymaker collected $90,000 for his 9th place finish, with Marchese taking a considerable chip lead. <\/p>\nAna Marquez<\/strong> was responsible for the next elimination after her pocket eights won a race against Tobias Duthweiler<\/strong>\u2018s king-jack, sending him to the cashier in 8th place for $100,000. Marquez continued to scoop more pots, enabling her to move into second position in the chip counts, behind Marchese, but the eventual winner managed to reinforce his chip stack after finishing off Germany\u2019s Rainer Kempe<\/strong> who exited in 7th place, taking home $130,000. <\/p>\nWith six players remaining, Marchese was dominating the play but Ausmus was able to closely follow him after eliminating Conor Beresford<\/strong> who busted in sixth place for a $170,000 payout. But Marchese managed to widen the gap after scoring another knockout, with his ace-queen defeating Sergio Aido<\/strong>\u2018s ace-three. Aido walked away with $230,000 as the fifth-place finisher. Marchese found another victim in Freddy Deeb<\/strong>, who left the table after losing a classic blind on blind clash against Marchese. Deeb finished 4th for $319,200. <\/p>\nAusmus just wouldn\u2019t give up as he once again closed the gap on Marchese after eliminating Marquez in third place, collecting $445,000 \u2013 the largest score of her career. <\/p>\n
Marchese and Ausmus then engaged in a heads-up battle, with the former holding an almost 3-to-2 chip advantage. As play progressed, Marchese extended that lead, and when the final hand was dealt, Ausmus shoved with king-ten and Marchese called with ace-jack.<\/p>\n
Tom Marchese<\/a> turned an ace, effectively becoming the latest partypoker MILLIONS winner. Ausmus took home $650,000 as runner-up. After this victory, Marchese\u2019s lifetime live tournament earnings climbed to more than $18.5 million<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Marchese has added another seven-figure score to his resume after winning the partypoker MILLIONS Vegas at the Aria Resort and Casino, the first-ever partypoker LIVE MILLIONS event held in the United States.
