From the button, Alexander Martin raised to 90,000 and Jason Somerville asked for a count of Martin's chips. It came back at 1.2 Million total and Somerville three-bet to 245,000. Martin thought for three or four minutes before announcing he was all in. Somerville double checked his cards and made the call.

Martin: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Somerville: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} which gave Martin six extra outs. The turn was the {4-Spades} which left Martin with just three Aces, two Queens and four Sevens to survive. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and he was sent home in 5th Place.

Yashar Darian and Jason Somerville now control about 80% nearly 10 Million chips in play with 4.5 and 3.5 Million, respectively.
