Alexander Cracks Martinez's Aces to Burst Bubble
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/1,600, 1,600 ante
Dejaunte 'DJ' Alexander opened to 32,000 preflop and Adrian Martinez just called to see a flop of 9♣9♥4♥.
Alexander checked to Martinez, who just ripped in his stack of 300,000 and Alexander called to put him at risk.
"I know I got the best hand," Alexander announced as the table waited until the rest of the room's action was complete. When they were given the all-clear, the hands were on their backs.
Adrian Martinez: A♣A♠
Dejuante Alexander: 4♠4♦
Alexander did indeed have the best hand with his flopped full house, but he still had to fade two aces and two nines to keep it that way. Luckily for him, the runout was 7♣10♠ and he was awarded the pot while Martinez exited on the stone bubble of the Main Event.
