Martini Climbing Off the Short Stack
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 0 ante
After being down to 300,000 chips after dropping back-to-back pots to Oscar Johansson and Benny Glaser, Julien Martini was down to 300,000 chips, but a recent pot with Michael Rodrigues has seen him get some back.
Rodrigues raised under the gun and got three-bet by Martini in the hijack. Rodrigues called and drew two while Martini stood pat.
Rodrigues then check-called a bet and drew two again, while Martini remained pat.
He check-called another Martini bet after the second draw, this time only needing one card versus Martini's still pat hand.
The players checked after that final draw with Martini showing 9x7x6x4x3x which would be the winner as Rodrigues flashed several low cards which included a pair of fives.
