Brink Cashes in With Aces
Johnathan Dempsey opened to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Lawrence Brink in middle position. Action folded around to MIke Itoafa, who was on the button, and called as well. Elenna Martinez defended her big blind to take action four ways to the flop .
Martinez was first to act and went all in for around 40,000. Dempsey then went all in over the top of her and Brink called off his remaining chips, which totaled close to that of Martinez. Itoafa folded and the three turned up their hands.
Elenna Martinez:
Johnathan Dempsey:
Lawrence Brink:
Martinez found her flopped top pair up against Dempsey's kings, and they both found themselves behind Brink's aces. Brink held as the turn and river came and he scooped both pots, sending Martinez to the rail in the meantime.
