HomeWhen big pairs tangle, there are surely big casualties that follow. In this hand, action began with the mid position player raising it to 1500 which Edwin Marzan called in late position. After him, the button player, Alex Lee three-bet and made it 5000 to go. The mp called but unlike previous, Marzan shoved his entire arsenal of 40K. Without a thought, he was snap-called by Alex Lee with around 30K behind. The mp player decided it was bet to fold. At the showdown,
Marzan: K♣ K♥
Lee: A♥ A♦
When the board landed 10♠ 9♠ 5♦, the mp player who folded exclaimed he had Pocket Nines and would have had a set. After the turn of 7♥ and river of 4♦ were revealed, Lee doubled up and more. He is now at around 70K while Marzan spiraled down to starting stack.
