Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On Table 20, action folded around to Christian Antigua who went all in for his remaining 14,700 from the button, only for Jordan Martak to reraise all in, from the small blind, for his remaining 95,000 stack. The big blind folded and the players tabled their hands.

Christian Antigua: A♦J♣
Jordan Martak: Q♥Q♦

The dealer fanned a 6♠7♠K♦ flop, and Antigua needed to find an ace or running cards to stay afloat. The 3♥ turn left Antigua needing an Ace from space and the J♦ sealed his fate.

With that hand, Martak is one of the early chip leaders in the room.
