Martinez Doubles, Leaves Freeman with Crumbs
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Carlos Martinez open-shoved under the gun for 11,000,000. When action folded around, Benjamin Freeman in the small blind asked for a count then jammed his chips in. With the big blind folding, the two players headed to showdown.
Carlos Martinez: A♦K♠
Benjamin Freeman: 8♥8♦
It was a coin flip that immediately went to Martinez's favor when the flop dropped 2♥A♠4♥. Freeman couldn't find help neither on the 9♣ turn nor 6♥ river, leaving him with less than a big blind to work with.
