Martone Rockets Into the Lead

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Well, that escalated quickly.

After a series of preflop raises there was a four-way all in right in front of the PokerNews Live Reporting desk. When we stood up, the action was capped with a third all in to 47,200, and Tommy Martone, who had everyone covered, called.

The last player to moved all in revealed {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Martone showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and the other two players showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

There was a queen on the flop, but there was a nine as well, and the {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} kept Martone in the lead. He filled up on the turn when the {q-Spades} hit the felt, and the {7-Spades} bricked off on the river.

All three players hit the rail, while Martone now has over a quarter of a million chips.
