Zoorob Gets the Best of Martin

The tournament has had a speed bump to the point where the average stack is starting to look really small. We expect most of the significant action to be pre-flop for a while, as it was between Matt Zoorob and Jesse Martin. Zoorob got all in with {a-Diamonds} {k-Spades} against Martin's {a-Spades} {q-Hearts}. Zoorob flopped a king, but Martin had a straight draw and a backdoor flush draw on a {k-Hearts} {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} board. The {10-Hearts} on the turn filled half of the running flush draw, but the river blanked {2-Diamonds}. Zoorob collected a pot worth 215,000, while Martin sank to just 120,000 in chips.
