Hanel Sends Margereson Home Via the River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jaromir Hanel raised from middle position and Scott Margereson peeled from the big blind.
On the 8?2?A? flop, Margereson checked, Hanel bet 9,000, Margereson shoved for 12,000, and Hanel called.
Scott Margereson: K?8? 
Jeromir Hanel: K?Q?
Margereson was well in the lead and just needed to fade three outs in order to survive.
"Maybe I should stand up," he joked.
The 2? changed nothing on the turn, but the Q? river paired Hanel's queen, which meant Margereson was eliminated.
"I knew it! Goodbye," said Margereson as he departed.
