Margereson Both Hates and Loves the River
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Scott Margereson bet 70,000 from the button on a flop of Q♦10♠7♠ and was called by Petar Kalev in middle position and Tomasz Brzezinski in the hijack.
The turn was the 9♥ and Margereson bet another 330,000. Only Kalev called this time, and the 9♦ fell on the river.
Kalev checked over to Margereson once more, and Margereson took a minute before tapping a chip on the felt. Kalev then showed K♣J♠ for a straight, and Margereson mucked.
"You hated the river, but sometimes when you hate the river, it ends up helping you," tablemate David Urban said to Margereson, who nodded in agreement.
