Spade on the River Ends History-Maker Margets’ WSOP Main Event Dreams
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
It’s been a historic run for Leo Margets in this year’s WSOP Main Event, but unfortunately for the Spaniard and her loyal legion of supporters, that run has now come to an end.
Across nine days of play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Margets became the first woman in three decades to reach the final table of poker’s world championship, earning her place in the history books with a headline-grabbing run on the game’s biggest stage.
However, her tournament came to a close in 7th place for $1,500,000 after a brutal river card in a key pot against Kenny Hallaert ended her bid for the title.
