Martin Flops the Joint to Double Through Yotsushika
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Kazuhiko Yotsushika opened to 250,000 in middle position and Thibaud Martin defended in the big blind.
Martin checked on the flop of 6♥7♠5♣ and Yotsushika continued for 200,000. Martin check-raised to 550,000 and Yotsushika called.
Martin then bet 900,000 on the A♥ turn and Yotsushika raised all in. Martin snap-called with a stack of just over 5,800,000.
Thibaud Martin: 9♦8♦ 
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣3♠
Yotsushika had turned top pair but was drawing stone dead against the flopped nut straight of Martin, who cheered as the meaningless Q♥ river bricked off to earn him a big double through the no-longer chip leader.
