Martinezalonso Makes Power Play

Lassell King opened the action with a raise to 65,000 only to have Eric Buchman three-bet to 180,000 from the next seat over. Action was then up to Jordi Martinezalonso on the button who sat contemplating for well over a minute.

Martinezalonso eventually dipped into his green t25,000 chips and pushed out a four-bet to 400,000. Both of his opponents quickly mucked their hands and Martinezalonso was able to drag in the pot without even having to see a flop.
