Mariani Wins his First Hand
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Moments after he arrived in the tournament, Julien Mariani opened to 800 from middle position and Ian Buttigieg defended from the big blind.
On a board of 7?Q?10?2?, Mariani continued for 1,000, then fired a second barrel of 2,900. Buttigieg check-called both times.
The 3? completed the board and after Buttigieg checked, Mariani bet 4,100. Buttigieg went into the tank and called. But his cards went into the muck when Mariani revealed Q?5? for a pair.
