Margereson Good at Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Teun Mulder opened the hijack to 8,000 and received calls from Ludovic Periaux in the small blind and Scott Margereson in the big blind.
On the A♣8♠7♣ flop, Mulder continued for 16,000 and both opponents called.
The 2♠ fell on the turn and Mulder kept up the pressure with a bet of 50,000. Only Margereson called.
On the 7♦ river, Margereson checked for a third time and Mulder thought for a moment before he gave up and checked back. Margereson tabled 5♣2♣ and his turned bottom pair was good enough at showdown to drag a sizeable pot as his stack continues to grow.
