Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was on the turn on a board of 2♥3♥A♦A♥. Johan Martinez checked and Pietro Tessarin moved all in for 6,700. Yves Thalmann moved all in and Martinez also called with a short stack. Three players flipped their cards, with both Tessarin and Martinez at risk.
Yves Thalmann: 5♥9♥
Johan Martinez: A♠J♦
Pietro Tessarin: Q♦Q♥
Tessarin had two pair with his queens and the aces on board. Martinez had trip aces. Thalmann flipped over a flush and was way ahead.
The river came the 3♠, double pairing the board and giving Martinez a full house. He tripled up, taking a chunk from Tessarin and eliminating Thalmann, who knocked over his chair and then left the tournament area.
