Terrible Flop Sends Margereson Home

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

From the button, Scott Margereson was all in for about 15,000, with Giovanni La Padula trying to win them all from the small blind.

Scott Margereson: A♦J♠ All in
Giovanni La Padula: A♥10♥

Margereson was in a good position to double, but that changed when the dealer fanned the 10♣5♠7♣ flop, giving La Padula top pair.

No help arrived on the 7♦ turn or 8♥ river for Margereson, making him the newest Main Event casualty.
