Martinovic's Nuts Stay Nuts

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading 3428 and three players still with hole cards. Michael Maruna had bet out for 5,000 into a pot of around 12,000, with Deshan Woods making the call. Marjan Martinovic then raised to 25,000, which was enough to put the other two at risk should they make the call.

After some tanking, Maruna called all in, much to the dismay of Woods.

"Oh my god," he said, laughing. "I don't know what you guys have but I'm folding," he said, tabling A8 for top pair, top kicker. As it turned out, he made the correct fold.

Michael Maruna: JJ All in
Marjan Martinovic: 65

Maruna was drawing dead, as the straight of Martinovic was the flopped nuts, still the nuts on the turn, and on the 10 river, too.
