Martinez Earns a Big Bustout
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
After two early-position limps, a player in the hijack raised to 1,600 and Robert Martinez three-bet to 4,600 in the cutoff. Only the hijack called.
The flop came 10♠9♦4♣ and Martinez bet 3,000. His opponent called to see the A♦ turn, where Martinez bet another 10,000. The hijack again called.
The river was the K♣ and Martinez moved all in. "I'm probably calling. I have an ace," the hijack said as he considered the decision for his last 30,000. He spent several minutes muttering to himself before Martinez finally called the clock.
The countdown had nearly reached zero before the hijack flicked in a chip to signify a call, and Martinez showed 9♣9♠ for a set. His opponent mucked A♠Q♥ and headed to the exit, while Martinez raked in the big pot.
