Martin Facing Relentless Pressure

John Martin's stack keeps moving in the wrong direction. In a battle of the blinds, he took an unraised flop of {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts} with big blind Marc McLaughlin. Martin check-called a bet of 55,000 from McLaughlin, then led out for 100,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn. McLaughlin raised that turn bet to 270,000 and got the fold.

A few hands later Charlie Elias opened preflop for 125,000. Marin raised to 450,000 from the button, then folded to a re-raise by Elias to 1.775 million. The result of both of those hands is that Martin's stack is down to about 3.2 million.
