Margets Loses Massive in Cooler

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Hannes Jeschka opened to 800 under the gun, only for Leo Margets to three-bet to 2,200 from middle position. Action folded back around to Jeschka, who made it 9,000 to go. Margets took some time before putting in the call.

On a flop of J74 Jeschka carried on with a down-bet to 6,000. Margets called, and the two saw the turn 5. Here, Jeschka slowed down with a tank check, and Margets opted to take the betting lead, with 14,000 her sizing. Jeschka went back into the tank, before announcing "all in" for 38,600. Margets rechecked her cards, waited a few seconds, and flicked in a call.

Leo Margets: KK All in
Hannes Jeschka: AA

It was the classic cooler, as Margets had just two outs to stay alive. The 3 was not one of them, as the two improved to nuts and second nuts, with Jeschka holding the best of it.
