Mariani Fires at Sterba; Jozonis Scores Another Knockout
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Julien Mariani raised to 40,000 in the hijack before Jakub Sterba three-bet to 180,000 in the small blind. Mariani came back with a four-bet to 325,000, and Sterba called.
The flop came 9♦Q♣5♠ and Mariani continued for 180,000. Sterba called, and the 2♥ fell on the turn.
Mariani then bet 275,000, and Sterba used a time bank before giving up his hand.
At another table, Eric Haber had shoved for 350,000 from the big blind and Tomas Jozonis called in the cutoff.
Eric Haber: A♠Q♣ 
Tomas Jozonis: A♥K♦
Jozonis had Haber dominated and was poised for another knockout as the flop came 3♠3♦2♦7♣9♣, keeping him in the lead with his king-kicker and sending Haber to the rail.
