Marc "Podiman" Podell was just busted in 100th place at the ME. After a tough day yesterday where little went right, he started the day short-stacked and received lots of help today in the form of big pairs but was rarely able to get action. He did double up a few times and was just under average at $1mm when he lost a few hands and went down to $650ish and then this hand went down as reported by PokerNews:

==========================================================

Marc Podell opened with a raise to 60,000 before Tiffany Michelle made it 227,000 to go from the hijack position. The action folded around to Podell who moved all in for 433,000. Michelle made the call.

Podell: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michelle: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to give Michelle a monster -- top pair and nut-flush draw. However the turn fell the {10-Clubs} to give Podell a two-outer for a set of tens to take the lead as the gallery roared. But in a classic suck-resuck moment, the roof of the Rio was lifted as Michelle hit the {3-Diamonds} on the river to complete her flush and eliminate Podell in amazing circumstances.

Michelle is now up amongst the chip leaders with three million in chips!

====================================================

It's a shame that a player sees to it to commit herself to a hand like A2 by RR so light against an early position raiser who is clearly only going to be raising with quality hands. Oh, well...

Marc has been at one of the two ESPN tables for the last few hours so he should get some TV face-time during the coverage.

Let's all send Marc a huge congrats for an amazing accomplishment!!!! Marc won approximately $50k in the event. It's unfortunate that all of his grinding and great play had to end this way.
