Magers Coolers One Out Of The Tournament

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Level 10: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 Ante

Aaron Magers raised to 7,500 from first position which saw four players behind call including one player in the small blind.

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} saw all players check to the {2-Spades} turn where the small blind bet 20,000. Magers responded by raising to 55,000, folding out all other players and the small blind sighed while putting in his last chips.

Small blind: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Aaron Magers: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The river {8-Hearts} saw no improvement for the bottom set and Magers added to his massive stack.

The river {6-Clubs} changed nothing and Segni's top pair top kicker was good enough to take down the pot.
