Martini Loses It All in Two Hands

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

First Pablo Boegershausen raised to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Davorin Stevanovic in the cutoff. Action folded to Alessandro Martini in the big blind who three-bet to 11,000. Boegershausen opted to fold but Stevanovic four-bet to 25,000. Martini responded with a shove and Stevanovic snap-called with a similar stack.

Davorin Stevanovic: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Alessandro Martini: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to not bring any danger to Stevanovic's rockets. Both stacks were counted and Martini got up from his seat already but had to sit back down as he had 1,400 left after paying Stevanovic.

The hand after, action folded to Martini in the small blind who put his last chips in without checking his cards. Steven Smith made the call for 200 more in the big blind. Smith opened his cards first and the rest of the players chuckled but then the dealer opened Martini's hand and they all gasped.

Alessandro Martini: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Steven Smith: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to not bring any help to Martini as he was sent to the rail.
