Martini Doubles to Bring the Match Back to Even

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises before Julien Martini and Alex Epstein got all of their chips in the middle. Martini was the player at risk for 30,800 and the two players were off to the races.

Julien Martini: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Alex Epstein: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to give Martini the lead with a pair of aces. The {9-Clubs} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river were no help to Epstein who sent over a full double up.

Loeser Opens Up a Lead

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
