Ison Doubles Thru Marder

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michael Marder & Michael Ison
Michael Marder & Michael Ison

Michael Marder was up to more than 1.4 million, then this happened:

On a flop of {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Marder led for 30,000, only to have Ison jam for 200,000 total.

Marder said "I can't fold this," and called, showing {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for top pair. Ison had him pipped with {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for the better kicker.

When the {10-Clubs} came on the turn, Ison improved to two pair and the {j-Hearts} on the river sealed the double-up for him. He's playing about 500,000 while Marder's stack has slipped to ~1.2 million, but is still up from where he started the day.
