Lucky River Extends Margereson's Lead
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Scott Margereson limped in on the button. Gerard Carbo upped the ante to 1,600,000 in the big blind, which Margereson called.
After Carbo checked the J♥6♠9♣ flop, Margereson fired a bet of 1,200,000. Carbo called and check-called Margerson's bet of 4,500,000 on the 7♣ turn as well.
The Q♣ river was quickly checked to showdown. Carbo showed K♦J♣ for a flopped top pair, but Margereson had hit a higher pair on the river with his Q♦4♦.
Margereson shipped the big pot and an over four-to-one chiplead.
