Julien Martini and Martin Staszko have one thing in common: They had more chips previously. While Martini had doubled up with pocket tens by cracking pocket aces, Staszko was just trying the same against the jacks of the Frenchman. However, the board blanked out and Martini doubled back to starting stack, Staszko is down to 14 big blinds.
