Back to Back Hands for Margolin

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Timur Margolin
Timur Margolin

Timur Margolin has had a very productive couple of hands since returning from the break.

First off, he took some chips from Dylan Linde. He defended his big bind to Linde's middle position 70,000 open and the flop came down {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. He check-called Linde's 45,000 continuation and they went to the turn. It was a {3-Clubs} and after checking again, Linde bet 90,000, over which Margolin moved all-in for 255,000 total. It was good enough to take it down.

Next he three-bet all-in from the small blind versus Josh Bergman's button raise to 70,000. Bergman passed, flashing the {a-Hearts} and Margolin scooped up some more to add to his stack.
