Presto! Bucherl Gets Them Back From Marafioti

Konstantin Bucherl
Konstantin Bucherl

Konstantin Bucherl button-raised to 210,000 to open the put, putting about 40% of his stack out there in the middle of the table. In the small blind, Matt Marafioti raised the minimum to 360,000, and Bucherl moved all in. As he was doing so, Marafioti said, "Don't do it, bro. You're way behind. Don't do it. Bucherl did, and Marafiotti called the extra bit to put his opponent at risk.

Showdown
Bucherl: {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Marafioti: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

There was a five peeking right in the window, and the board of {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} saved Bucherl from extinction. He's doubled up over a million now, leaving Marafioti back on the shortest stack with less than 800,000
