The Rich Get Richer
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ricardo Martinez was in the cutoff, sitting with the big stack at the table, and raised to 30,000, and Darren Taylor was in the big blind and made the call. The flop was 9♦6♥4♦, and Taylor checked and Martinez placed the continuation bet in position for 30,000. Martinez made the call.
The turn Q♦ brought another check from Taylor and another bet from Martinez of 65,000.
Both players checked the 9♣ on the river, and Martinez was almost ready to muck until Taylor showed K♦J♣ for king high and Martinez rolled over A♠9♣ for ace high and the scoop of the pot.
