Margolin Pressures Rubiralta on the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The pot had climbed to around 12,000 with the board showing 3♣7♠8♠5♥. Lev Margolin checked from under the gun and Gerard Rubiralta on the button fired 7,500. Margolin took a moment to think it through before making the call to see the river.
The dealer revealed the 9♠ and Margolin paused again before sliding out 16,000, leaving himself with only about 4,000 behind and putting Rubiralta to a tough decision. Rubiralta mulled it over but eventually released his hand.
"Show me one card", Rubiralta said, but Margolin responded with a firm shake of the head. "No?" Rubiralta asked. "Next" (time), Margolin replied while stacking his chips.
