Margets Takes it at Showdown

Theodoros Ampelikiotis opened 8,000 on the button and Leo Margets flatted in the small blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♣5♥5♠, and Margets check-raised a bet of 13,000 to 28,000. Ampelikiotis made the call.

When the 3♥ hit the turn, Margets slowed down with a check, and Ampelikiotis dropped 25,000 across the line. Margets matched the bet.

The K♣ landed on the river, and Margets quickly checked. Ampelikiotis stared at the board for about a minute before deciding to tap the table.

Margets rolled 9♦8♦ for nines and fives, and Ampelikiotis mucked his hand.
