Dad Wins the Pot and the Bet

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was a mix of good news and bad news for Greg Margers at the end of this level.

On one hand, he raised all in for 77,000 on a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. His opponent in the big blind tanked for several minutes before the clock was called, eventually folding his hand as Margers stayed alive.

On the other, his son Tavish was eliminated a few minutes earlier. "Does that mean I won the bet," Margers said, raising his arms in the air as he took the Father's Day last longer bet but also expressing disappointment that his son had been knocked out.
