Magriel Making a Showing

[user198174]

A player in early position raised it up to 1,400 and action folded to Paul Magriel who three-bet to 4,400. The rest of the table folded and it was back to the initial raiser who four-bet to 9,200. Magriel allowed for a couple of minutes to drain off the clock while he decided what to do. In the end though Magriel announced "all in", a bet that would put his opponent all in for his remaining 7,000. The early position player made the call and was at risk.

Magriel: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {k-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} sling-shotting Magriel into the lead as he grabbed hold of an eight. The {8-Spades} on the turn secured the victory, and Magriel's opponent was drawing dead. A meaningless {q-Clubs} fell on the river and Magriel just moved up to one of the top stacks in the room.
