Marashlian Doubles Up
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action showed Shant Marashlian all in and at risk against Florian Duta.
Shant Marashlian: J♣J♠ 
Florian Duta: AxQx
The dealer fanned 9♣8♦Q♣ on the board, giving Duta top pair. Marashlian, though, had a gutshot straight draw, which he hit on the turn when 10♠ appeared.
The A♦ hit the river, giving Marashian’s straight the win and a double.
The two players tangled in the previous hand, with Duta taking down the pot after a bet on the river.
“We’re 1-1,” Duta jokingly said to Marashlian, who chuckled at the remark.
