Margereson Draws First Blood
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Scott Margereson opened his button to 800,000, calling when Gerard Carbo three-bet to 2,700,000 in the big blind.
Carbo checked the A♣J♦9♦ flop over to his opponent, who fired 1,900,000. Carbo called to the K♣ turn, which was checked by both players.
The J♥ river saw Carbo fire a huge bet of 7,700,000. Margereson needed a couple of seconds before he found a call.
Carbo showed 9♠8♠ for bottom pair, but was bested by the A♦10♦ of Margereson, who won the first significant pot.
