No Chip and a Chair Story for Marafioti

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Marafioti

We stumbled upon Matt Marafioti after he was moved to a new table, and saw that he was all in.....for 1,000. According to Michael Engell, Marafioti was crippled when he moved all in for 58,000 with {6-}{6-}, and Engell woke up with {a-}{a-} right behind him. Marafioti couldn't catch up, and he was down to a single 1,000 chip. That chip got in the middle on the next hand after Kevin Williams raised it up to 20,000 under the gun. Everyone else folded to that bet, and Marafioti was actually heads up for a chance to turn 1,000 into 9,000.

Marafioti: {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Williams: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Marafioti was all but dead when the flop came {7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The {5-Hearts} on the turn ended it, and the meaningless river was the {7-Diamonds}. Marafioti left with a smile on his face as he wished everyone luck before heading to the payout desk.
