Margereson Claims Biggest Pot of Tournament So Far
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Scott Margereson, from a stack of 3,475,000, raised to 160,000 from the cutoff. Tom Fuchs covered him by 210,000 and jammed from the small blind. Margereson rechecked his hand, and called to swell the pot to 7,110,000.
Scott Margereson: J♦J♣
Tom Fuchs: A♣K♥
Margereson remained ahead in the coin flip after the 10♠5♠5♣ flop. The 3♠ turn kept the jacks in front and the 4♥ river confirmed his survival, and put him at the top of the counts.
Fuchs jammed from the button on the next deal, and managed to steal the blinds to essentially double.
