Marji Spikes the River to Double Up
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The action folded to Sean Rafael in the small blind who made it 360,000. Melad Marji called in the big blind and the dealer spread the flop of 8♦7♠7♣. Rafael announced a bet of 840,000 and Marji jammed all in for his last 940,000 which Rafael called.
Melad Marji: A♠9♦6♠5♣
Sean Rafael: A♥K♥8♥4♦
Rafael had two pair but Marji was looking to catch a straight and not feelings. The 3♥ on the turn was a brick but the 4♥ on the river gave Marji what he needed for a double-up.
