Martin Wins Without a Showdown
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Radek Castka opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by Younes Bahiaoui in the hijack, Guillaume Martin in the cutoff, and Yaniv Ben-Ezra in the big blind.
Ben-Ezra checked to Castka, who bet 1,000 on the K♦K♥9♠ flop. Bahiaoui and Martin called, but Ben-Ezra folded.
Castka slowed down and checked on the 7♠ turn, prompting a 2,500 bet from Bahiaoui. Martin called and Castka folded.
The Q♣ filled the river and Bahiaoui check-folded facing a 5,800 bet from Martin, awarding him the sizable pot.
