Martinovic Also Falls to Istomin
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
After some earlier action in a small pot, Dragoljub Martinovic committed his stack of 104,000 from the big blind on the 3♦2♠5♦ flop. Aleksei Istomin weighed his options for a while before making a call and taking it to showdown.
Dragoljub Martinovic: A♦2♥ 
Aleksei Istomin: A♠5♥
Istomin had the higher pair, and nothing of note changed on the 9♠3♣ runout, seeing him knock out a second player in quick succession.
