Martinsson Scores the First Knockout
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
More than 15,000 was already in the middle as Adam Martinsson and Henri Hassid went to the turn on a board of 5♣Q♣2♠7♠. Martinsson then bet 9,500 from the hijack, and Hassid called in the big blind.
The river was the 9♥ and Martinsson moved all in. Hassid instantly pushed forward the rest of his 10,000, and Martinsson turned over 2♦2♣ for a set.
"Aces?" another tablemate asked Hassid as he tossed his cards into the muck and got up from his seat. The dealer eventually revealed K♥Q♥, and Hassid became the first casualty of the day.
