Ice Cold Deck on Table 608
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Coolers are an inevitable part of tournament poker, and it's crucial to be on the right side of them if you plan on navigating through a large field. Scott Margereson learned this the hard way. He raised from middle position to 25,000, only to be met with a three-bet from Pete Chen on the button to 60,000. Margereson then went all-in for 141,000 and was snap-called by Chen.
Scott Margereson: Q♠Q♣ 
Pete Chen: K♦K♣
The drama was over as the dealer spread a K♥4♣3♥ flop, the turn J♥ and river 7♦ were of little consequence. Margereson has been eliminated from Event #17 after an impressive run.
