Margolin Picks Off Martinsek, Table Getting Frustrated

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Timur Margolin and Jan Martinsek built a pot of 67,000 with the board showing {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Martinsek, in the hijack, bet 32,000 and Margolin confirmed the amount before he called in the big blind.

The river came the {5-Spades} and Margolin checked to Martinsek, who bet another 38,000. Margolin went into the tank for several minutes.

"Guys, every hand is 10 minutes. One hour we play six hands," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said. "Am I right?"

"Yeah," another tablemate confirmed.

The clock was called on Margolin, who eventually put in the chips to call as Martinsek showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed flush draw. Margolin took the pot with {j-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens.
