Marafioti Flops a Double Up
Tom Marchese opened the pot in late position, and a reraising war left Matt Marafioti all in for 337,000 in the small blind. And he was in bad shape:
Marchese:
Marafioti:
Marafioti was dominated, but things would improve in a hurry. The flop came to give him a big lead and leave him needing only to fade running cards to survive. The turn and river improved him even further, and Marafioti flushes his way to a big double up. That puts him at 694,000, knocking Marchese back down a peg to 873,000.
