Tavish Margers – No. 1 on the Player of the Series Leaderboard – opens for 8,000 and finds himself facing a 41,500 all-in from Mike Zucchet in the 9-seat.
Margers pauses, makes the call for a single 500-chip less than Zucchet, and doesn’t like what he sees when Zucchet flips over Queens. Margers has Fours and needs some major help.
No help comes on the 6-J-9-9-7 runout and is eliminated 70 minutes from the end of Day 1A, but he has Saturday’s Day 1B to get a new 30,000 starting stack.
