Mariani Busts, Lakers Still Having No June Luck

"Hey PokerNews ... Get over here!" bellowed someone from table 405.

"It was capped on third, fourth and fifth, and now just two bets on sixth." continued the player.

Four players were in the hand with two all-in - one being Frank Mariani - on sixth as both the active players checked seventh.

Mariani: {X-}{X-} / {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / {X-}
Opponent 1: {X-}{X-} / {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} / {X-}
Opponent 2: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {X-}
Opponent 3: {X-}{X-} / {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {X-}

Opponent 1 tabled his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} / {9-Hearts}, but it would be opponent 2's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} / {7-Spades} taking the high as opponent 3's {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} would scoop the low. Mariani mucked, and headed to the rail.

Mariani might not be a notable name when it comes to poker, and he may not even be that recognizable when it comes to the NBA community. However, if you are a Los Angeles Laker fan, you will know Mariani as being a sizable owner of the Lakers who also likes to dabble in some poker like the late Dr Jerry Buss.

Unfortunately Mariani is now on the rail, but like Buss' ventures from previous years, hopefully Mariani will be a staple at the WSOP when his Lakers aren't in playoff contention.
