Michael Martin Eliminated in 2nd Place ($94,263)

Michael Martin - Runner Up
Michael Martin - Runner Up
Michael Martin limped in from the button and Ben Hock checked his big blind option. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Hock checked and Martin bet 23,000. Hock made a calculated call. The turn came the {7-Clubs}. Hock again checked and Martin bet 54,000. After thinking for quite some time, Hock raised an additional 100,000. Martin moved all in and Hock called. The players showed:

Hock: {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Martin: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Hock had flopped top two pair but Martin had a flush draw. In front of an anxious crowd with no one sitting, the dealer threw down the {3-Clubs} on the river. Martin had missed and was eliminated in second place. He'll take home $94,263 for his impressive finish.
