Marafioti Mystifies The Master
We arrived at the table and saw about 12,000 in the pot. There was a player all in, Men Nguyen had called, and Matt Marafioti had raised an additional 5,000. Ngyuyen tanked for about two minutes, even getting distracted when a player at another table (after receiving his order from a male cocktail server) said, "Thanks Man."
After the brief distraction, Nguyen gave it up. Marafioti showed , the all-in player showed , and Nguyen looked sick. The board ran out as Marafioti scored the knockout to chip up to roughly 17,000.
Nguyen has about 15,000.
