Jonathan Jaffe moved all in under the gun for 35,000, Raul Martinez called from the small blind, and Adam Hendrix called from the big blind. Any further betting would create a side pot between Martinez and Hendrix.

The flop came 8d7s4d, Martinez bet 30,000, and Hendrix folded.

Jaffe showed Kd4c for a pair of fours, but Martinez turned over Ah4s for a pair of fours with a higher kicker. Jaffe needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the Ac, the river card was the Jd, and Martinez won the pot with two pair, aces and fours, to eliminate Jaffe in 24th place.

Raul Martinez  –  570,000  (71 bb)
