Martin Plays the Knaves

What a difference an hour makes. When we last looked in on Jesse Martin, he had only 17,000 chips left. Now he's back to an average stack of 100,000 after doubling through former chip leader David Diaz. Martin opened under the gun for 6,300 and was called by small blind Matthew Waxman. Diaz, sitting in the big blind, re-raised to 25,000. That prompted Martin to ship his stack in, and after Waxman folded, Diaz made the call.

Diaz: {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Martin: {j-Hearts} {j-Clubs}

Neither player connected with the board. Martin's jacks held to move him up in the counts. Diaz is back to 172,000.
