Big Blind Special for Martin

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

Michael Linster called from the small blind, and Thilbaud Martin checked in the big blind. The dealer fanned out the AQ3 flop, and Linster check-called a bet of 500,000 from Martin.

Both players then checked the 3 turn, and Linster followed the K with another check. Martin counted out a bet of 950,000, and Linster sent his cards into the muck.

Martin turned over Q3 while collecting the pot.

"Big blind special," said another player at the table as they saw Martin's full house.
