Marx's Risky Cowboy
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
In the final hand of the last level, a player from middle position raised and found two callers before Daniel Marx three-bet to 5,200 from the small blind.
After the big blind player folded, the initial raiser called, as did Kennie Garrison from late position but the cutoff player had other intentions as they squeezed for a 25,000 starting stack.
Action was back on Marx who spent some time in the tank and then isolated.
Daniel Marx: 
Opponent: 
Marx was dominated but that didn't stop him from taking the lead after the 
flop paired his king.
The 
turn was of no consequence to Marx nor was the 
river and he eliminated his opponent.
