Massimiliano Martinez - 10th Place
Massimiliano Martinez - 10th Place

Massimiliano Martinez started the action, raising to 45,000 from the cutoff seat. Wesley Pantling called on the button, and Justin Filtz defended his big blind.

The flop came down {2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades}, Filtz checked, and Martinez continued for 71,000. Pantling called, and Filtz check-raised to 171,000. Both Martinez and Pantling called.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Filtz checked. Martinez fired 136,000, Pantling called, and Filtz check-raised again - this time to 336,000. Martinez moved all in, Pantling folded, and Filtz sweated his cards one more time before calling.

Filtz: {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Martinez: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Martinez needed a ten to win or a seven to chop, but the river was the {4-Hearts}, eliminating him from the tournament. Filtz is now our massive chip leader with over 3 million in his stack.
