. Matgolis checked, and Moore continued out with a bet of 85,000.Margolis would sit statue still for a moment before asking Moore to count his remaining stack. Moore did so, calculating that he had 371,000 behind the bet. That was all the info Margolis needed as he sent his cards into the muck.
It came down
, and both players checked. The turn card was the 
, and Somerville checked again. This time, Cutler figured it was time to bet, and he put out 65,000 chips. Somerville, in his typical deliberate style, paused for a moment before making the call.The last card off was the
, and Somerville tapped the table softly once more. Cutler counted down his own stack and shot a long gaze across the table. After a moment, he put out 177,000 more chips, enough to eventually fold Somerville and ship him the pot.
Heads up, the flop came
. Wong led out into the raiser with a bet of 78,000, which Carris called.Fourth street was the
, and the filled out the board with the two men check-checking both street. Wong rolled over 
, while Carris tabled the winning 
.
. Somerville checked, then called a bet of 55,000 from his opponent. When the turn fell the 
, Somerville again checked, and Carris slipped out a bet of 85,000.True to form, Somerville tanked for a minute or so before sliding his cards toward the muck.
It seems the table is really going after Jason Somerville in this level. He's being bet out of the pots where he's the caller, and he's being reraised out of the pots that he opens. It will be interesting to see how much longer Somerville continues to yield to the pressure.
Margolis cut the calling chips out of his stack and gazed forlornly at Wong. After a minute or two of mental deliberation, he slammed the chips over the line, putting Wong at risk.
Showdown
Margolis:
Wong:
Wong was in the best possible shape for a double up, but disaster would come his way. Right in the door, the
was visible under the dealer's hand, drawing a huge reaction from ever-increasing rail. The board would run out , locking up the pot for Margolis' two pair.He slammed his fist down on the felt in celebration, erupting with a big, "YES!" He and Wong shook hands as the departing player wished everyone luck and headed off to the payout desk. Brandon Wong will pocket just about $40,000 for his three days' worth of work.
Margolis, meanwhile, has just inched into the chip lead with 1,550,000.
