From the big blind, Mustapha Kanit moved all in for 119,000. Martini moved all in for 318,000 as a response, and Aldemir peeked back down at his cards and then called all in for 225,000 total.

Martini:

Kanit was in great shape to triple, and when the dealer fanned the 
board, he would hold on and move to 365,000 in chips.
Aldemir lost just two big blinds in the hand, while Martini dropped down to a 15-big blind chip stack.
