Margolin Gets One Through

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Paul Esau was involved in a few of the last pots.

First, Esau raised to 500,000 from under the gun and Nikolay Fal called in the big blind.

On the 510A flop, Fal check-called a bet of 500,000 from Esau to the 7 turn. Fal checked again, then folded when Esau bet 2,800,000.

A few hands later, Esau limped from the small blind, instead of the usual shove that he's been doing over the past few orbits, and Timur Margolin checked.

Both checked the K73 flop to the K turn, where Esau bet 250,000 and Margolin called.

An 8 fell on the river and Esau checked and then folded when Margolin bet 1,000,000.
