button in SafariKempson Forces a Tough Fold From Marcus
Level 11
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Van Marcus opened to 25,000 from under the gun and just behind him, Corey Kempson three-bet to 80,000. Action folded back around to Marcus, who called for a bloated heads-up pot.
Both players checked on the 2♥9♠10♣ flop and then Kempson called a 65,000 bet from Marcus on the 8♦ turn.
The 3♣ completed the board and Marcus put 90,000 into the middle. Kempson responded with a raise to 375,000 — sending Marcus deep into the tank.
"I think I might have to pay you off..." Marcus said after burning up several time extensions. "Unless you can convince me otherwise."
Marcus used up a couple of more time extensions, but eventually sent his cards into the muck — conceding the pot to Kempson.
"Very interesting," Marcus said as Kempson collected the pot.
