The Ups and Downs Of An EPT Champion

Michael Martin hasn't had a great day.

"Every time I've got it in, I've had the second best hand. I had {K-?} {K-?} on a {K-?} {Q-?} {10-?} board against {A-?} {J-?}! Then I had set over set. Finally, the cut-off raised and I pushed from the small blind with {A-?} {Q-?}, certain I had the best hand and he called with {K-?} {K-?}! I managed to spike my ace though."

That last hand doubled him up back over 10,000 and he's now sitting with around 12,500.
