Margereson Chips Up With Big Blind Special
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Yoshihiro Inoue opened his button to 225,000. Scott Margereson defended his big blind, after which the K♣3♠4♥ flop was fanned. Inoue continued for 125,000, which Margereson check-raised to 375,000.
After Inoue called, both players checked through the 5♣ turn. The 7♣ river saw Margereson re-aggress, announcing a bet of 950,000. Inoue called before Margereson's chips had even hit the felt.
The Japanese player tabled 4♠4♣ for a set, but it was no good against the K♠6♣ of Margereson, who had made a backdoor straight to win the sizable pot.
