Martines Smacks the Flop to Double
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Three players built a pot of around 6,000 as they went to a flop of 10♣3♣10♠. Mihn Luong then bet 5,000 from the button, and Stephen Martines raised to 10,000 in the small blind. The table folded back to Luong, and he moved all in. Martines snap-called for 34,000.
Stephen Martines: J♦10♥
Mihn Luong: A♥4♦
Martines had flopped trips, while Luong could only show ace-high. The rest of the board ran out 5♥9♠, and Martines doubled up.
Luong was left with just 1,500 and was eliminated on the next hand as the first bustout of the tournament.
