Martin Mangled

Jesse Martin has just played a hand that has left him crippled. Folded to Andrew Prock on the button, he raised it up and Martin made it three bets in the small blind. Prock called and a {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop was dealt. Martin led here and Prock called. The {7-Hearts} turn would see Martin lead and Prock raise it up. Martin called and a {9-Spades} hit the river. This time Martin checked and Prock fired out a bet. Martin tanked, before letting his hand go and leaving himself with less than one big bet.

Jesse Martin Eliminated in 4th Place ($68,322)

Just a few moments ago we told you how Martin left himself crippled. Well, now it's all over for Martin as he makes his way out the door in 4th place.

Martin's last hand began when he raised from under the gun - enough to put him all in for 39,000. Prock was in the big blind and made the call. Martin was in front with his {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}, while Prock's {10-Clubs}{2-Spades} was still live.

The {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board would see the pair of twos enough to send Prock the pot and eliminate Martin. With that, we are down to three-handed.

Scholl Vs. Prock

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Scholl raised it up from the button and Andrew Prock called in the big blind. The {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop would see Prock check-call a bet from Scholl. The {7-Spades} turn and Prock would again check and Scholl would again bet. This time Prock didn't want to rumble, sending his cards into the muck.

Walking

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

The last few hands have seen the players each get a walk. The average stack compared to the limits is a lot better now and so play may finally slow down a little.

We Will Prock You

Folded to Andrew Prock in the small blind, he raised it up and Benjamin Scholl called in the big blind. The {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop would see Prock lead and Scholl make it two bets. Prock then made it three bets and Scholl called. The {j-Clubs} turn then saw Prock lead and Scholl call as the {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Both players checked this card and Prock tabled his {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, his flush enough to rake in the pot.

As Prock stacked his new chips, a chorus of "We Will Prock You," came screaming from the likes of Terrence Chan, Jerrod Ankenman and Matt Hawrilenko on the rail.

Prock You Like a Hurricane

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Andrew Prock was in the big blind when he called a raise from Jeff Shulman in teh small blind. The {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop and Shulman would lead with a bet and receive a call from Prock. Both players opted to check the {q-Hearts} turn and then Shulman would fire a bet on the {2-Clubs} river. Prock called and then took down the hand holding {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

This time when Prock raked in the pot, his faithful rail shouted out a chorus of "Prock You Like a Hurricane," of course in the tune of the Scorpions' 80s classic.
