Mariakis badbeats Razavi’s Kings


After a bit of a preflop raise war, Samad Razavi sent Michael Mariakis tanking for some time, needing to decide if this was the moment to gamble his tournament life. Mariakis did call and they went to a showdown:

Razavi: K K

Mariakis: : A K

Though the flop of 6 10 Q seemed harmless to Razavi, as well as the turn card of 3, the river would not be so kind as it slapped a J giving Mariakis a straight and the win. Mariakis is now up to 80K chips.
