Jesse Martin had just about 4,000 left after getting most of his stack in before the first draw against Chris Klodnicki and Lyle Berman, who were acting before him. Klodnicki drew three, Berman two and Martin two. Martin got the last of it in after the draw and was called in both spots. Klodnicki again took three, Berman just one and Martin two. This time, Klodnicki mucked when Berman bet to leave it heads up.
Berman was pat but Martin still drawing one. Berman announced a nine-nine and showed 
.
"I got it," Martin said after seeing his card, fanning 
for a seven-seven.
At other tables, Mike Noori and Mike Wattel busted.
