Lampropulos Survives a Race With Martinsek

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jan Martinsek had a raise to 18,000 in front of him from the small blind before Nikos Lampropulos moved all in for his last 108,000 in the cutoff. Martinsek tanked for a moment before he called.

Nikos Lampropulos: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Jan Martinsek: {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

"What," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said after seeing the hand Martinsek called with. Lampropulos had to win the race to survive and took a big lead when the {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop gave him a set.

The turn came the {9-Hearts} and Martinsek was already drawing dead as the {5-Clubs} fell on the river.
