Hand #121 - Michael Martin Eliminated in 5th Place ($666,606)

Michael Martin - 5th place
Michael Martin - 5th place
The button is with Isaac Baron in Seat 8.

Glen Chorny opens the action with a raise to 125,000. Michael Martin calls from the big blind and the two see a flop of {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Martin checks and Chorny makes a continuation bet of 225,000. Martin thinks for a moment and check-raises to 675,000. Chorny announces he is all in and Martin calls.

Chorny: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Martin: {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Chorny has the lead with his overpair, and Martin will need some help to survive. The turn and river come {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Michael Martin is eliminated in fifth place.
