Tarzy Wins in Dramatic Fashion
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Marshall Tarzy raised to 16,000 in the hijack, Roy Kim flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind defended.
The dealer put out a monotone flop of 9♦J♦Q♦ and it checked to Tarzy, who moved all in for 125,000 to put himself at risk. Kim called and the big blind got out of the way.
Marshall Tarzy: Q♠J♣
Roy Kim: 8♦4♦
Tarzy's top two was in rough shape against Kim's flopped flush, but he still had outs with a queen or a jack.
The 3♦ turn was a brick, but Tarzy hit a queen on the Q♥ river to fill up and stay alive.
