Jorge Martinez

There were five players taking a flop of 8c6c5s. Loni Harwood bet 5,000 from under the gun and Jorge Martinez raised to 15,000 from early position.

David Inselberg folded from the hijack and Matt Stout folded from the cutoff. The button folded and Harwood moved all in for about 50,000. Martinez called.

Martinez showed 8s6h, good for two pair, but needed to dodge a lot of cards against Harwood’s Ac7c.

Harwood needed a club, four or nine to double up, but the Js on the turn and the 2s on the river sent the pot to Martinez and eliminate Harwood just before the end of the level.

Jorge Martinez – 135,000
Loni Harwood – Eliminated
