Battle of the Short Stacks

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a lot commotion coming from table 386 we went to see what was going on. When we got there we found out that 3 players were all in and were called by a fourth person. From what we were told, two players from early position moved all in, Johnny Martinez in middle position called their all ins, and a fourth player in the big blind called blindly and was all in himself. Cards were flipped over, and the excitement started.

Early Position Player 1: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Early Position Player 2: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Johnny Martinez: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Big Bling: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The player in the big blind was pretty short and claimed he didn't look at his hand when he called his own all in, nonetheless though he was ahead going to the flop. The dealer spread out a three card flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Johnny Martinez was now ahead with his pair of aces, and the other three players were in dire need of some help.

A {10-Spades} rolled off the deck for the turn, maintaining Martinez's lead and with the {4-Hearts} on the river Martinez's pair of aces were best and he was awarded the 7,000 chip pot.
