Martin Drills the River
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Thilbaud Martin opened to 600,000 from under the gun, and Jason Rivkin made the call in the cutoff. Jean Brillant stuck in a call on the button, and the 3♥7♠6♥ flop produced a trio of checks.
Martin led out for 650,000 on the 2♥ turn, and Rivkin raised to 1,900,000. Brillant got out of the way, and Martin took some time before making the call.
Martin and Rivkin both checked down the J♠ river. Martin tabled K♦J♥ for a pair of jacks, and Rivkin let out a laugh as he showed 10♠10♥ while sending his cards to the dealer.
Martin collected the massive pot, taking a big chip lead.
