Martinez and Suriyakarn Split Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The hand was picked up just after Sorawit Suriyakarn moved all-in and got three callers on a flop of A♦4♣K♥.
Sergio Martinez, Dion Kaba and Kurtis Ruhl all checked the turn 8♣ and river 7♥, leaving Suriyakarn all-in against three five-card hands.
Sorawit Suriyakarn: A♠9♥6♦5♥3♣
Dion Kaba: A♣Q♦Q♠J♣7♠
Kurtis Ruhl: A♥J♦9♠4♦2♣
Sergio Martinez: 7♦5♣3♥2♥2♦
When it was all sorted out, Martinez had turned the nut-low and Suriyakarn hit a straight on the river to pick up half the pot.
Suriyakarn had managed to play several rotations and improve a pay jump since being down to just 6,000 chips (1 1/2 blinds).
