The turn brings the [2h] and Brunson checks.  Marafioti bets 4,200, and Brunson check-raises to 15,000 total.  Marafioti thinks  minute then folds.

Eli Elezra reaches out and pulls down the [Ac], leaving the ten and the two deuces on the board.  He asks Marafioti, "How can you beat Doyle Brunson with these cards on the board?"

Doyle Brunson – 80,000
Matt Marafioti – 149,500
