Margolin Spikes a Set to Double
Niveau 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
With around 200,000 in the pot on a flop of 9?7?5?, Mehdi Chaoui bet 75,000, and Lev Margolin check-raised to 210,000. Stoyan Madanzhiev folded before Chaoui shoved for Margolin's remaining 150,000. Margolin pondered for a few moments before making the call.
Lev Margolin : 8?8? 
Mehdi Chaoui: Q?Q?
Chaoui needed to fade an eight or six to send Margolin to the rail. The 8? turn propelled Margolin into the lead with a set, as the 9? hit the river to give Margolin the winner with a full house.
