Marcher Hits Lucky River to Stay Alive

From early position Griffin Benger made it 10,500. Johan Goslings flatted right behind him, and so did Sami Pullianen from the cutoff.

Glenn Marcher shoved from the small blind for 66,000 and the big blind folded. Benger asked for a count and folded as well. Goslings now shoved all in and Pullianen folded right away.

Marcher was already getting up after the flop () and turn () hadn't improved him, but the lucky on the river had him sat down again.

Benger was shaking his head a little, and Marcher asked him why he was doing that. "Because it's a terrible shove. I like you and I want you to stay around, so I'm disappointed."

The two discussed the hand for a bit more, with Marcher telling Benger that he was fine with getting it in on a flip as there was already so much money in the middle. Benger shook his head some more and they went on to the next hand.

40 players remain, 4 to the money.
