Scott Margereson Eliminated in 4th Place (€168,850)

Mwarburton

Niveau 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After a long lull in play, a massive cooler was dealt that led to a three-way all in. Scott Margereson moved all in from the button for 1,100,000, Antoine Saout pushed over the top from the small blind with the biggest stack, and Tarmo Tammel called in the big blind with a similar amount to Margereson. Players flipped over their cards.

Scott Margereson: A♣9♥
Tarmo Tammel: A♦A♦
Antoine Saout: J♦J♠

Margereson found himself in serious bother as the cards were revealed, and Saout was also far behind as Tammel turned over his pocket aces.

The board ran out 9♠4♣K♠6♣7♦ and Tammel held to triple up his stack. Saout won a tiny side pot from Margereson, but still had to hand over a chunk of his chips to Saout.

Margereson was eliminated from the tournament in fourth place for €168,850.
