Martinelli Stacking Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The player in the middle position limped in and so did the player on the button. Tanner Martinelli completed his small blind and the player in the big blind opted to check.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Martinelli bet 1,000 and the only caller was the player in the middle position.

They then both checked through the {a-Diamonds} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river.

"Nine," Martinelli said before turning or {j-Spades}{9-Spades}.

"You're good," his opponent commented and then mucked his hand.

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 1,000 and Dedrey Yowe called in the cutoff. The player in the small blind three-bet to 3,000 and was called by both the hijack and Yowe.
