button in SafariMargolin and Bezhanyan Play the Strangest Pot
Timur Margolin raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, with Julian Pineda Lozano calling on the button and Aren Bezhanyan defending his big blind.
After Bezhanyan checked the 4♥8♦9♣ flop, Margolin bet 75,000, and only Bezhanyan called.
When the 5♦ appeared on the turn, Bezhanyan led out for 285,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Margolin pushed a stack of chips into the middle and tabled J♣8♥ for a pair of eights, not realizing that Bezhanyan still had a chip remaining.
The action stood as a call, and the board-pairing 4♠ completed the runout. Bezhanyan excitedly tossed in his last 5,000 chips, causing Margolin and the rest of the table to groan before erupting in laughter.
Perhaps knowing he was likely beaten, Margolin still couldn't turn down the almost 200-to-1 odds he was being offered. He flicked in a chip to call, and Bezhanyan revealed 6♥4♦ for rivered trips to take down the pot.
