Martin Eliminates Mohammad
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Andrew Martin got the action started with an open from early position before Loc Hoang called from the next seat over. Kais Mohammad decided to three-bet shove for 11,500 from the small blind in response. Martin and Hoang called to put Mohammad at risk.
The 6♣4♣10♠ flop led to an all-in from Martin. Hoang got out of the way with a fold as Martin and Mohammad went to a showdown.
Kais Mohammad: A♣K♥
Andrew Martin: 8♠8♥
Mohammad had the overcards, but he was in trouble against Martin's pocket eights.
The 9♥ turn gave Martin a straight draw and held his lead.
Mohammad would see the final card of his tournament when the 9♦ peeled to eliminate him from Day 1d.
