From the button, Alex Martin raised to 44,000 and Lex Veldhuis immediately announced he was all in for his final 550,000. The big blind folded and Martin thought for a bit before making the call. His {a-Spades}{j-Spades} was behind the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Veldhuis as the two players eagerly anticipated the flop.

It came down {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}. Veldhuis hit his Queen but it wasn't exactly a good flop for him as Martin picked up a spade draw. The turn bricked with the {2-Diamonds} but the river wasn't as friendly to Veldhuis. The {7-Spades} hit and not only sends Veldhuis to the rail, but gets us down to our unofficial final table.
