Marji Spikes the River to Double Up
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Melad Marji raised to 1,050,000 on the button and Javier Francort reraised the pot from the small blind. Quan Zhou folded his big blind and Marji stuck in his stack of 2,700,000 to be at risk.
Melad Marji: A♠Q♠10♦6♣
Javier Francort: A♥Q♣J♦4♥
The flop fell K♦5♣4♦ and Francort took the lead with a lonely pair of fours. The A♦ on the turn improved him to two pair but the J♥ on the river gave Marji a straight to double up and stay alive.
