Anthony Martinez Eliminated in 8th Place

Erik Macias was under the gun and opened to 14,000. Jon Cohen called from the hijack and action folded around to Anthony Martinez, who went all in from the small blind for his last 39,000. Both Macias and Cohen called to take any postflop action to a side pot.

The flop came and Macias checked. Cohen bet 20,000 and Macias called. The turn came and Macias checked again. Cohen threw out another 20,000 while announcing a bet of 40,000. The dealer announced the bet of 40,000. Macias quickly folded and it was time to turn up the remaining two hands.

Jon Cohen:
Anthony Martinez:

Cohen was one card away from earning the knockout and the sizeable pot. The river fell and the pot was sent his way as Martinez got up and wished everybody good luck.

Macias commented that he would have called 30,000 if Cohen had bet that amount on the turn. He also stated he had folded an ace. A comment was then overheard that it was a good thing Cohen bet 40,000.

With the pot, Cohen finds himself nearing 300,000 in chips, which puts him above average with seven players remaining.
