  • Matt Marafioti has been making fun of the fact that he’s been super short stacked all day; except that with another double behind him, he’s not short at all any more.

    His most recent double came with Matt in the big blind. Greg Marcus min-raised on the button and Matt thought for a while before announcing all in. Greg called and turned over Ace of Spades 8 of Spades, which was up against Matt’s King of Hearts King of Clubs.

    The board was dealt: 10 of Clubs 10 of Hearts 2 of Hearts 3 of Diamonds King of Diamonds and suddenly Matt is up over 250K.

    After the hand, Matt (who has been leading all discussion about possible deals so far) again offered the field a deal – suggesting that with a stack he has become a lot more dangerous that he had been early in the action today.
