Mariakis Slips

Michael Mariakis led out for 900 from under the gun, before a player in middle position raised to 2,550. The big blind made the call and Mariakis called also.

On the flop of {6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, the big blind checked along with Mariakis, to see their opponent throw out of a bet of 5,500. The big blind got out of the way, before Mariakis raised to 15,500.

Several minutes in the tank went by before Mike King called time, to see the pressure back on the raiser. With eight seconds left, he moved all in, and committed the remaining 22,600 in his stack.

Mariakis sighed for only a moment before calling the extra 12,600 to see his opponent table {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

"Why'd you tank for so long?" asked Mariakis, as he tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {8-Hearts} and {6-Hearts} finished off the board as Mariakis falls to 26,300 after spending the majority of the day on top of the leaderboard.
