Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jesus Martinez peeled aces on the button and squeezed over a raise from early position and a flat-call. Both players called him and we arrived for the action on the 
flop where Martinez fired 7,000 in position. The opener check-raised to 21,000, getting rid of the third player. Martinez matched the price and they saw the hit the felt.
Martinez faced a bet of 40,000 and pushed all his chips towards the middle, making it just 1,400 more. His rival called with 
but Martinez' 
prevailed after the 
river.
