Margolin Gets Punished for a Making a Good Call
Nivel 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Timur Margolin opened under the gun to 16,000 before Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet shoved for 166,000 from the cutoff. After the blinds folded, Margolin thought it over for some time before making the call to put Chernikov at risk.
Aleksandr Chernikov: K♦4♦ 
Timur Margolin: A♠10♦
Margolin had made a great call, but to win the pot he still had to avoid a four or king. The board ran out 2♦7♠4♣J♠Q♥ to give Chernikov the winner with a pair of fours, leaving Margolin with roughly eight big blinds.
