Martin Nearly Triples His Stack
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Renata Colache opened to 125,000 from the cutoff before Vance Martin III jammed for 295,000 from the button. In the big blind, Matthew Faust rejammed for 840,000 and Colache painfully folded after a short tank.
Vance Martin III: J♠J♦
Matthew Faust: K♥9♥
The K♠J♣7♥ flop gave Faust top pair, but Martin made middle set. The 7♠ turn added outs for Faust to make a better full house, but the river was the A♠, giving Martin the winner.
