Manuel Martinez Eliminated in 3rd Place ($80,000)
Level 33
: 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 11,000,000 from the button, Rainer Kempe called from the small blind, and Manuel Martinez jammed from the big blind for 115,500,000. Di Giacomo called to put Martinez at risk and Kempe flashed as he folded.
Di Giacomo:
Martinez:
Di Giacomo had the preflop edge with the better king and Martinez needed to improve in order to preserve his tournament life. After the board ran out Di Giacomo's hand was still best, so he took the pot to end Martinez's deep run in this event.
