Martin Stays Alive on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David Martin moved all in for 225,000 in the cutoff. "Do you have aces?" Andreas Boelling asked as he called on the button.
David Martin: 7♦7♣
Andreas Boelling: Q♥Q♦
Martin didn't have aces and Boelling found himself well in front and poised for a knockout as the board came 5♥J♣4♦A♠.
The river, though, brought the 7♠ and Martin snapped back in his seat with his hands on his head as he hit a miracle set on the river to double up.
"I knew it. Second time on the river," Boelling lamented.
