Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Luke Martinelli
Luke Martinelli

Two players were fighting over a pot of about 100,000, both in the blinds. The full board showed {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Luke Martinelli saw his opponent bet 20,000 on the river in front of him. In position, Martinelli moved in 82,000, the large majority of his stack.

His opponent thought long enough that a player called the clock on him. Just before his countdown reached zero, he let his cards go.

The pot catapulted Martinelli to one of the top spots on the leaderboard.
