Margolin Gets Punished for a Making a Good Call

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Timur Margolin opened under the gun to 16,000 before Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet shoved for 166,000 from the cutoff. After the blinds folded, Margolin thought it over for some time before making the call to put Chernikov at risk.

Aleksandr Chernikov: K4 All in
Timur Margolin: A10

Margolin had made a great call, but to win the pot he still had to avoid a four or king. The board ran out 274JQ to give Chernikov the winner with a pair of fours, leaving Margolin with roughly eight big blinds.
