Mehmood Eliminates Martin

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Aurellien Martin got his 56,000-chip stack in the middle before the flop from the big blind against two players with covering stacks: Henry Hull, who was under the gun, and Omar Mehmood, who was on the button.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} and Hull checked. Mehmood announced "all-in," Hull folded, and the two live players tabled their hands.

Aurellien Martin: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Omar Mehmood: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Mehmood had the lead with aces and the nut flush draw and Martin needed to improve in order to double up. The {A-Hearts} on the turn gave Mehmood a huge lead, and the {7-Hearts} river was no help to Martin, so Mehmood took the pot to send him to the cage.
