Margets Choosing Her Targets

Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Most of us first met Leo Margets back in 2009 when she made her deep run in the WSOP Main Event where she finished 27th. Margets moved into the top ten in counts during the early evening and has remained there, continuing to pick her spots carefully as she does.

Just now she limped in from the small blind and her opponent one seat over checked. Both again checked the {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, then Margets led for 700 on the {9-Hearts} turn. The river brought the {10-Hearts}, and when her opponent bet Margets let it go.

Soon after Margets had position on the short-stacked player to her right as she watched her raise to 1,300. Margets made it 4,000 to go, and it folded back to her opponent who tanked for a long time before folding. Subsequent banter suggested Margets had a pair of kings while her opponent had folded {A-}{K-}-suited.
