Tortured Fold for Marques as Level Ticks Down

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A pot of 250,000 had been built between long-time table rivals Pedro Marques and Pablo Melogno, when the action, slowly, took place on the river of a board. Melogno checked, Marques bet 55,000. Back to Melogno, for whom the term "clock-raise" must now be coined. He raised to 450,000 (with 50,000 behind). Marques now took his time deep in the tank, shaking his head, covering his face with his hands and then sitting back with his arms crossed. Finally he made the fold.
