Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Hand #62: Ismael Bojang raised to 225,000 on the button and Michael Marder defended the big blind to see a flop of {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}, which both players checked.

Hand #63: Bojang raised to 225,000 first to act and Timur Margolin moved all in for more than 2.7 million from the big blind, Bojang folded.

Hand #64: A walk for Bojang.

Hand #65: Margolin raised to 215,000 on the button and Chris Ferguson defended the big blind. On the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Ferguson checked and called a bet worth 140,000 by Margolin.

Hands #60-61: Bojang Doubles Through Margolin

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Hand #60: Timur Margolin opened the small blind for 300,000 and big blind Ismael Bojang called. The flop came {9-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Bojang folded to Margolin's 230,000 bet.

"Enough with the folding!" Margolin referenced his own big river fold earlier. "I'm not doing that anymore!"

The next hand he would make good on that promise, but it wouldn't pan out well for him.

Hand #61: Margolin opened to 220,000 from the button and small blind Ismael Bojang three-bet to what appeared to be 750,000 with just under 2 million behind. Ferguson folded his big blind and the action was back on Margolin. He announced all in and Bojang called for 2,715,000 total.

Ismael Bojang: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Timur Margolin: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Bojang scored the double, leaving former chip leader Margolin a lot shorter.

Hand #55: Chris Ferguson moved all in from the button and Michael Marder in the small blind asked for a count. Once it was determined to be for 1,930,000, Marder called and Timur Margolin forfeited his big blind.

Michael Marder: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board came {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Ferguson doubled.

Hand #56: Marder limped in from the button and Ismael Bojang checked from the big blind. On the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Bojang checked and called a bet worth 100,000 before both checked the {10-Hearts} turn and {7-Hearts} river. Bojang showed {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of queens, which Marder had beat with the {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

Hand #57: Marder raised to 225,000 first to act and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #58: Ferguson limped the small blind and Marder raised to 300,000 from the big blind, Ferguson called. On the {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, Ferguson checked and folded to a bet worth 275,000 by Marder.

Level: 30

Blinds: 50,000/100,000

Ante: 15,000

Hands #53-54: "I have a pretty good hand. I was kind of trapping you."

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #53: Michael Marder opened the cutoff for 175,000 but folded to Timur Margolin's 510,000 button raise.

Hand #54: Margolin opened under the gun for 180,000 and big blind Michael Marder called. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Marder checked. Margolin bet 150,000 and Marder check-raised to 400,000 soon enough. Margolin called.

The {9-Hearts} hit the turn and Marder bet 675,000. Margolin called.

With the {K-Spades} completing the board, Marder shoved for 2,225,000. Margolin went deep into the tank.

"I have a pretty good hand. I was kind of trapping you," Margolin said. "Maybe you got tired of me?"

Some more time passed and he continued: "I don't know what to do. With the way the game is going, I think you might have a crazy bluff..."

Eventually, Margolin folded. "Alright, I'll let you have this."
