Marder Dodges Bullets; Busts Next Hand

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Marder opened 3,000 under the gun and Benjamin Pollak put in a three-bet to 7,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Marder and he thought about it for a few moments before saving his remaining 13,000. Pollak let him know it was a good fold by flashing A♠A♦.

The following hand, Pollak opened 3,500 and Veerab Zakarian called in the cutoff before Marder defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 6♠5♥4♦ and Marder jammed his last 8,000. Pollak quickly got out of the way and Zakarian snap-called.

Michael Marder: A♠3♥ All in
Veerab Zakarian: 8♥7♥

Marder flopped an open-ended straight draw but Zakarian had already flopped the nut straight. The K♥ turn and 2♥ river improved him to a flush as Marder left the table.

Chan Drills the River to Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Johnn Chan was heads-up from the cutoff against a lone player in the big blind on a flop of 5♠4♥6♥.

It was checked to Chan and he shoved for approximately 23,000 total. His opponent called after a bit of deliberation and a showdown was held.

Johnny Chan: A♠J♠ All in
Opponent: Q♠4♠

Chan was in trouble and had one foot out the door on the 6♣ turn, however, the J♥ river bailed Chan out — pairing his jack for the much-needed double up.
