Thilbaud Martin

Thilbaud Martin led out for 5,000 from the big blind after seeing the 9210 flop, and Zayar Tun replied with a raise to 15,000.

Martin made the call, and announced all in on the J turn. Tun slid in the call, and the hands were turned up.

Thilbaud Martin: J9 All in
Zayar Tun: 108

Martin's two pair led the way, able to dodge Tun's outs on the K river to earn the double. That left Tun with less than 5,000 chips, which were gone on the very next hand.
