Margereson Gets Away with Little Damage
Level 6
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Linglin Zeng raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and Scott Margereson reraised to 42,000 out of the big blind. Zeng called and the dealer fanned the flop of 8♥6♥2♣. Both players checked and the Q♣ rolled off on the turn.
Margereson checked again and Zeng fired out a bet of 35,000. Margereson called and the 5♦ completed the board. Both players tapped the table and Margereson turned over 9♣8♣. Zeng bested that with Q♥J♥ and was awarded the pot.
"I'll consider that a win for me," Margereson said after the hand.
