Martinez Doubles Through Walker
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was picked up with two players — Dimas Martinez, on the button and James Walker, in cutoff — all-in waiting for the dealer to peel the board.
Dimas Martinez: Q♥6♥
James Walker: A♠10♥
Walker was ahead and remained so when the flop dropped 9♠8♥7♦. Martinez had hope as his outs increased with an open-ended straight draw.
Although Walker hit the board with a 10♦ turn, the same card completed Martinez's straight, pushing him ahead. The river 8♣ didn't change the lead securing Martinez with a double up.
