Martins Receives Lucky Double-Up
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Petr Novotny made a raise to 2,500 from the button before Rui Martins went all in for 26,500 from the small blind. Novotny looked him up with the covering stack and the pair showed down.
Rui Martins: A♣6♣
Petr Novotny: A♠Q♦
It was looking like Novotny would add another elimination to his tally, but Martins was the only one to flop a pair on 6♥4♦3♦. The J♣5♥ runout remained clean for him and he doubled up to more than a starting stack.
Meanwhile, Novotny was left with just over one starting stack himself, after having reached the 100,000-mark but a few hands before.
