Martinez Wins Classic Race to Eliminate Mahonen
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Borja Martinez opened to 12,000 from early position and was three-bet to 26,000 by Jari Mahonen in the hijack. Action folded back around to Martinez, who announced he was all in. Mahonen quickly called all in for approximately 130,000 total and hands were revealed.
Jari Mahonen: Q♦Q♥
Borja Martinez: A♦K♥
The 2♥5♠A♠ flop paired Martinez's ace and sent Mahonen out of his seat to gather his belongings.
The K♠ turn and K♦ river needlessly improved Martinez to a full house and Mahonen exited the tournament area.
