Martorella Forces the Fold
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Action folded to Anton Saich in the small blind, who raised to 225,000 with 8♠8♣. Patrick Martorella looked down at J♠9♣ in the big blind and made the call.
Saich led out for 175,000 on the 9♠7♠J♦ flop, and Martorella took a moment before raising to 475,000 with his two pair.
That was enough to produce a fold from Saich, and Martorella took down the pot while showing the nine.
