Marder Dodges Bullets; Busts Next Hand
Michael Marder opened 3,000 under the gun and Benjamin Pollak put in a three-bet to 7,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Marder and he thought about it for a few moments before saving his remaining 13,000. Pollak let him know it was a good fold by flashing A♠A♦.
The following hand, Pollak opened 3,500 and Veerab Zakarian called in the cutoff before Marder defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 6♠5♥4♦ and Marder jammed his last 8,000. Pollak quickly got out of the way and Zakarian snap-called.
Michael Marder: A♠3♥ 
Veerab Zakarian: 8♥7♥
Marder flopped an open-ended straight draw but Zakarian had already flopped the nut straight. The K♥ turn and 2♥ river improved him to a flush as Marder left the table.
