"Maria Konnikova, huge bully," Nikki Limo said.

Martinez had Davidson dominated as the board ran out 8♣4♠K♠7♦7♠ to earn Martinez the pot and send Davidson to the rail.

The next hand, Limo three-bet to 20,000 in the small blind and Paul Dewald called on the button. Limo moved all in for 15,000 on the A♣J♣10♠ flop and Dewald quickly called.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Gary Melnick and Nicholas Whitehead built a pot of around 90,000 as they went heads-up to the river with the board showing Q♣8♠A♥6♥9♣. Whitehead then moved all in for 41,000 in early position.

"I'm worried you have two pair. I don't have two pair," Melnick said as he tanked for several minutes. "Okay, let's see it," he added, eventually deciding to call.

Whitehead turned over A♠10♦ for top pair. "You got me," Melnick said, showing A♦7♠ as he mucked. "There was too much money out there," he added after the hand.
