Martinez Doubles Through Piazza
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Edinson Martinez shoved from early position for his last 68,000 and Roberto Piazza called from the big blind to put him at risk.
Martinez: 
Piazza: 
Piazza had the preflop advantage and Martinez needed help from the deck in order to survive. The flop came 
, which kept Piazza ahead but gave Martinez some additional outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw. The 
turn changed nothing, but the 
on the river gave Martinez a pair of kings, so he took the pot to double up.
