Margets Survives All-In on the Bubble

Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With action still hand-for-hand, Leo Margets shoved from the small blind for 180,000, and Matt Berkey called from the big blind.
After a long wait due to hands being played out on other tables, the dealer was given the nod to run a board.
Leo Margets: A?J?
Matt Berkey: A?3?
Margets was ahead, but she can't have felt too comfortable with a min-cash of $13,605 on the line.
Both players caught a piece of the J?3?Q? board, but Margets maintained her lead with a pair of jacks. Nothing changed on the 7? turn or 9? river which meant Margets doubled up.
