Somerville Cripples Margolis

Andrew Margolis

Andrew Margolis raised to 80,000 to open from the button. Jason Somerville was unimpressed and moved all in for a total of 435,000. With little delay, Margolis called. These two men had been taking jabs at each other all day, and this was finally the big confrontation they were both building up to.

Showdown
Margolis: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Somerville: {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

The flop would be a disaster for Margolis, coming out {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. There was a deafening roar from Somerville's cheerleaders as he had taken a big lead in the hand. The turn {K-Spades} and the river {9-Hearts} filled out the board, locking up a big double up for Somerville.

After that exchange, Margolis is all the way down to 320,000, while Somerville is back in the mix with nearly 1.2 million.
