Alexander the Great

One player to have excelled during these early stages is Alex Martin, who has more than twice his starting stack with 7,500. He hasn't eliminated anyone, more chipping away gradually with hands like his latest encounter: after a couple of limps, Martin bet 250 from the big blind and received two callers. He then took down the pot with a bet of 675 on the {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop.
