Nice Flop for Martin

Shamus

In the last hand before the break, Antoine Saout raised to 90,000 from the button, and John Martin called from the small blind. The flop came {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

. Martin checked, Saout raised to 155,000, and Martin made the call.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. Martin checked again, Saout bet 330,000, then Martin shoved all in for 1.733 total.

By now all of the other players had left the table, leaving just Saout, Martin, and the dealer. Saout thought in silence for a couple of minutes. Finally he folded, showing his {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

as he did. Martin showed his hand, too -- {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

.

Martin is up to 2.67 million, and Saout still has a healthy stack of 5.05 million.
