Marsico Hero Calls the River
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 3,200 and Michael Marsico flatted on the button. Michael Hakami then three-bet to 11,600 from the small blind, resulting in a fold from the hijack and a call from Marsico.
The flop rolled out 10?Q?K? with Hakami continuing for 10,000 and Marsico putting in the call.
The A? turn slowed down the action and both players checked, bringing the 9? river.
Hakami fired out a bet of 20,000 and after some thinking, Marsico flicked in the call.
"You win," said Hakami, as he tabled pocket eights. Marsico turned over K?Q? for two pair, kings and queens, to take down the pot.
