Kurtzman Doubles, Martin Eliminated
As Shane Martin was heading out of the tournament area, having been eliminated, his vanquisher, Eben Kurtzman, recalled the action that led to his demise.
Martin raised to 600, and Kurtzman called from the big blind.
On a flop of 9♦10♣Q♣, Kurtzman checked and Martin continued for a bet of 1,000. Kurtzman then check-raised to 2,000, but that didn't put an end to the raising. Martin responded with another raise to 7,000, to which Kurtzman responded by moving all in for 59,300.
Martin was the covered player by a couple of thousand and made the call.
Shane Martin: K♣J♥
Eben Kurtzman: 10♥9♥
Kurtzman was in trouble, with his opponent having flopped a straight versus his two pair. He was unable to find any help on the 6♠ turn, but the river 10♠ came to his rescue, improving him to a full house and sending Martin to the exit.
