Linster Calls Down Martin

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Michael Linster opened to 500,000 from the cutoff, and Thilbaud Martin slid in a call on the button. Both players checked the 42Q flop, and Linster tapped the table again on the K turn.

Martin fired 350,000 into the middle, and the call was made. Linster checked one last time on the 9 river, where Martin took some time and counted out a bet of 750,000.

Linster opted to make the call, and Martin showed A4 for a pair of fours. Linster tabled KJ for a pair of kings, and the pot was shipped his way.
