Marafioti Moved Off Twice

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Matt Marafioti is struggling to gain any traction here on Day 1, and we witnessed two hands in which he was forced to fold to all-in pressure.

First, Marafioti raised to 1,550, and then went into the tank when a short-stacked opponent moved in for his last 5,150. Marafioti squeezed his cards dramatically, counting out the calling chips and cutting them from his stack, before finally folding.

On a subsequent hand, we missed the board cards, but caught Marafioti with a bet in front of him, and an all-in player across the table. Once again, Marafioti couldn't stand the heat, and his hand was tossed into the muck.
