Martin Wins Big with Two Pair
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was caught on the flop of Q♦J♠6♥ in a hand between Michael Choe in the hijack and John Martin in the cutoff.
With 13,100 in the pot, Choe check-called a bet of 7,500 from Martin, bringing the A♦ turn.
Choe checked again and Martin bet 11,500. Choe then came over the top and moved all in, putting Martin at risk, who had 37,800 behind. Martin thought for a moment and reluctantly put in the call.
John Martin: A♥Q♥ 
Michael Choe: J♣10♥
The river landed the 8♣ and Martin's two pair, aces and queens, earned him the pot and the double up.
