He had three prior WSOP cashes, one in 2008 and two in 2007.[1]

At the 2008 WSOP Main Event final table, Marquis was the first player to be eliminated, starting the table with 10,210,000 in tournament chips. In his last hand, with a little under 5,000,000 in chips, Marquis open raised all-in in middle position with 7♦ 7♥. Scott Montgomery, in the cutoff position with over 11.5 million in chips, called with A♦ Q♥. The flop came 10♠ A♥ 7♣ giving Montgomery a pair of aces with Marquis making a set of sevens. However, the turn and river ran J♦ K♠ giving Montgomery a straight which eliminated Marquis in ninth place, earning him $900,670.[2]

At the 2010 World Series of Poker, Marquis cashed twice. As of 2010, his total live tournament winnings exceed $990,000.[3] His six cashes at the WSOP account for $976,376 of those winnings.[4]
