Martin Wins Big with Two Pair

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
John Martin
John Martin

Action was caught on the flop of QJ6 in a hand between Michael Choe in the hijack and John Martin in the cutoff.

With 13,100 in the pot, Choe check-called a bet of 7,500 from Martin, bringing the A turn.

Choe checked again and Martin bet 11,500. Choe then came over the top and moved all in, putting Martin at risk, who had 37,800 behind. Martin thought for a moment and reluctantly put in the call.

John Martin: AQ All in
Michael Choe: J10

The river landed the 8 and Martin's two pair, aces and queens, earned him the pot and the double up.
