Margolis Takes On Somerville

[user66118]

First in from the button, Andrew Margolis put in a raise to 20,000. Two seats over in the big blind, Jason Somerville re-raised to 63,000, and Margolis came along.

The flop brought {4-Diamonds}

, and Somerville fired out a continuation bet of 80,000 chips. Margolis took his time before making the call.

Fourth street was the {K-Hearts}

. Somerville kept the pressure on with another bullet, this time stacking out 130,000 chips in front of him. Margolis again thought very carefully before making the call.

The last card off the deck was the {10-Spades}

. Action was on Somerville for a long time as he alternated his glare between the board, his own chip stack, and that of his opponent. After a long delay, he tapped the felt. Margolis now took the opportunity to bet, firing 275,000 chips into the pot. Somerville asked how much Margolis had behind him, and when he was content with the answer, he surrendered his hand, letting the biggest pot so far go over to Andrew Margolis.

[user108095]

When Jason Somerville made it 20,000 to go from middle position, action folded back to Josh Tieman in the small blind who wasted no time in pushing his entire stack into the middle.

Somerville, looking a little disgusted, released his hand and gave Tieman the pot.

Presto for Cutler

[user108095]

When Jason Somerville raised to 20,000 from the button, both Chris Moore and Joseph Cutler made the call from the blinds.

Moore then check-folded while Cutler check-called Somerville's 35,000 bet on a flop of {6-Diamonds}

. Both players check the {4-Spades}

on the turn and the {K-Diamonds}

on the river.

When Cutler turned over {5-Spades}
