Margets Stands Strong with Aces

Leo Margets made some small waves last year as the woman to make the deepest run in the Main Event. She's off to a strong start today with a set that held up. After a player opened for 300 and was called by another player, Margets raised her button to 1,025. Both other players called. Margets continued for 2,200 on a flop of {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The initial pre-flop raiser folded, but the player in between check-raised to 5,000. Margets called.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. When the river fell a blank, the {4-Hearts}, Margets' opponent bet 7,000. Margets quickly called. Her set of aces, {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, was the best hand against her opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.
