Jaesh Balachandran raised to 600,000 from the hijack, and Raul Martinez three-bet jammed from the cutoff for 2,450,000. The action folded back to Balachandran, who made the call.

Raul Martinez: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Jaesh Balachandran: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for both players to hit a set, but Balachandran was still ahead with the higher one.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, which did not help Martinez, and neither did the {k-Clubs} on the river, which sent Martinez out in 23rd place.
