John Martin Sends Two Players Home

John Martin is doing his part to get into the money. He was just on the winning end of a hand that saw two players make their exits. Michael Bertolini and Gary Lent were all in against Martin and both came up short. By the river, the players showed:

Martin: {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {4-?} {2-?}
Bertolini: {7-?} {7-?} {8-?} {4-?} {2-?}
Lent: {J-?} {5-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?}

John Martin now sits on a stack of roughly 37,000.

Lee Grove Eliminated

Lee Grove was sent home just a few spots off the money when he came up short in a hand against Ali Tabatabai. The exact action is unclear but when it was all said and done, the players showed:

Grove: {10-?} {9-?} {8-?} {3-?} {A-?}
Tabatabai: {8-?} {5-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?}

Grove was sent to the rail and Tabatabai climbs to about 29,000 on the hand.

John Martin Picks Off a Bluff

John Martin was heads up against Andy Bloch in a pot that saw Bloch betting the whole way. The players showed:

Martin: (X) (X) {2-?} {A-?} {K-?} {J-?} (X)
Bloch: (X) (X) {A-?} {3-?} {J-?} {7-?} (X)

When Bloch bet 7th street, Martin went into the tank. After a couple minutes, he finally called and Bloch showed two pair. Martin showed a {10-?} {8-?} {7-?} {2-?} {A-?} which was good enough to take it down.

After the hand Martin is up to 35,000 while Bloch is down to just 9,000 chips.

Tom Schneider Picks Up a Nice Pot

Tom Schneider and Frank Cremen just got mixed up in a hand that saw Schneider betting every street and Cremen calling. When it was all said and done, Schneider showed ({2-?}) ({6-?}) ({10-?}) {9-?} {4-?} {3-?} {5-?} and Cremen mucked his (X) (X) {3-?} {5-?} {7-?} {J-?} (X). Schneider is now a force with just over 66,000 while Cremen falls to about the 11,000 chip mark.

Philip Klevmoen Eliminated

Philip Klevmoen was just sent to the rail when his {10-?} low couldn't best the {9-?} {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} {A-?} of Frank Cremen. Cremen chips up to 21,000 on the hand. Chris Viox was also in the hand and came up short as well. After the hand, Viox is down to about 33,000 while Cremen chips up to roughly 21,000.
