Ricardo Martinez Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,675)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Bernstein raised from the cutoff to 160,000 and action folded to Ricardo Martinez in the small blind who three-bet all in for 1,125,000.
This sent Bernstein deep into the tank for 3-4 minutes, and the clock was called. With under ten seconds remaining, he announced a call and pushed the chips forward.
Ricardo Martinez: 2♠2♣
Michael Bernstein: A♠J♦
Not the door card Martinez wanted to see on the A♣8♠Q♣ flop, and he was looking to hit a deuce to stay alive. It didn't come with the J♠ turn, and when the 9♠ peeled off on the river, it was curtains for Martinez, and he was sent to the rail in 18th spot.
