Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With many faces at Table 34 having had plenty of success throughout their careers not only in the world of poker, but also in the high-roller scenes, there is no wonder the chip stacks seem to be fluctuating so much. Scott Margereson has been taking the hardest hit to his stack this past level, to no one's fault but his own.

A completed board of was spread across the felt with nearly 250,000 in the pot. The action was on Margereson in early position who thought for a minute before shoving all in. He was met by a snap-call from Josip Simunic on the button who had 175,000 remaining. Margereson turned over for just jack-high while Simunic held for the nut straight.

In the next hand, Norbert Szecsi opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Gal Yifrach three-bet to 50,000 on the button. "Just fold," Yifrach said as Szecsi pondered his decision. Szecsi didn't listen to Yifrach's advice as he made the call.

The flop fell and Szecsi check-called a bet of 50,000 from Yifrach. The turn was the and Szecsi checked again. Yifrach fired out another 105,000 and Szecsi finally laid his hand down.
