Paola Martin

Paola Martin is playing things a bit more incognito today than she did on Days 1 and 2. Her head is bowed and large sunglasses cover her face. But that didn't stop us from spotting her involved in a three-way pot from the small blind that had been raised to 3,100 preflop. She check-called a bet of 5,000 on the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

flop, 12,000 on the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

turn and 30,000 on the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

river. Martin's opponent, the aggressor in the hand, showed down {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, having flopped a pair of queens. Martin quickly breathed a sigh of relief and showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

for a turned pair of aces and the winner.

"I thought you had a flush draw," Martin's opponent told her.

"I did!" she replied. Martin is up to about 100,000 chips.
