The Turning of the Tide

It's incredible how the tide can turn in poker, but that's what Martin Hanitz has learned, riding the wave of chip monster before the currents pulled him down.

Having seen his stack decimated in the potentially life-changing pot with James Mitchell, Hanitz was all in soon after, {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} in bad shape against {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. A nine-less {4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board later, and Hanitz's turbulent, but entertaining journey had come to an end.
