Pillai Rivers Flush to Eliminate Martin

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jesse Martin and Shankar Pillai created an 18,600 chip pot preflop and the dealer spread out {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} on the table.

Martin bet 5,000 out of the small blind and Pillai raised all in from the middle position. Martin took less than a minute before he placed in his remaining 33,000.

He was ahead with {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, hoping to fade clubs as Pillai tabled {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

The {a-Hearts} turn was safe for Martin but the {8-Clubs} river ended his tournament while Pillai soared to 168,000.
