There has been some tussling between Frederik Jensen and Timur Margolin, having been sat next to each other since they made the final two tables.
Jensen had around 450,000 at the start of the hand and was in the big blind when Margolin open-shoved from the small blind. It was a speedy call from Jensen and they turned their cards over.
Frederik Jensen: ![]()
![]()
Timur Margolin ![]()
![]()
The flop hit a two for Margolin right out of the blocks, and Margolin moved into the lead. Neither the
turn or the
river could bring it back for Jensen and he narrowly misses out on making the feature table.
