Marashlian Doubles Up with Kings
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action started with an open from the player in the hijack, who raised to 20,000. Shant Marashlian was on the button and made it 56,000. After action folded back to him, the hijack went all in and Marashlian snap-called.
Shant Marashlian: K♠K♥
Hijack: A♣Q♠
Marashlian was at risk but ahead. The flop J♣K♦4♦ gave him a set, but his opponent now had a gutshot to a Broadway straight. However, the turn 6♠ and river 6♥ were safe, giving Marashlian the full house and a big double-up.
