: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
A player in early position raised to 9,000, the button three-bet to 20,000, and Alex Muscarella, who was in the small blind, went into the tank for almost a minute before he four-bet shoved for about 200,000. The big blind then went into the tank for about 30 seconds and called to put himself at risk for about 35,000, the original raiser folded, and the button did the same shortly thereafter.
Alex Muscarella: 
Big blind: 
Muscarella had a commanding lead with the better pair and his opponent needed a lot of help from the deck to double up. The board ran out 
which changed nothing so Muscarella took the pot to eliminate his opponent.
