Michael Marks looked down at his short stack and decided to make his move. He shoved all-in for his last 176,000 and step one of the plan worked when The Magician mucked his hand.

on the river made it official and Driscoll notched his first knockout of the day, building his stack to nearly 1,500,000 in the process.
