Martin Sends Gimenez Packing

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Yuval Friedman made it 12,000 to play from early position and action folded around to Artus Gimenez on the button who three-bet all in for 97,000. Daniel Martin in the small blind went into the tank for a short while before he announced that he was all in and had the active players covered.

Friedman got out of the way quickly and cards were revealed.

Artus Gimenez: AK All in
Daniel Martin: QQ

Not the greatest of flops for Gimenez came of 2QK and he needed runner runner to stay alive. No joy when the 4 turn left him drawing dead with the 9 river putting the final nail in the coffin to send Gimenez to the rail.
