Martinez Rivers Huge Double
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action was picked up in a bloated pot between Andrew Bakota in middle position and Andrew Bakota in the hijack. Both players got all their chips in on a 10♦K♦8♣ flop, with Bakota the covering stack.
Sergio Martinez: A♦9♦4♣3♦2♣
Andrew Bakota: A♣K♠9♣5♥2♦
Martinez was relying on diamonds or a backdoor low to stay alive, with the J♣ turn confining him to just eight outs. Bakota rivered Broadway, but it was the Q♦ which secured a double for his opponent.
