Sergio Martinez Eliminated in 9th Place ($13,191)
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After a stalemate that lasted nearly two hours, Sergio Martinez got his short stack in the middle against Yusuke Tanaka.
Sergio Martinez: 9♠8♣7♣6♠
Yusuke Tanaka: K♠Q♠10♠J♥
Martinez was plenty live with a double-suited rundown against the Broadway-hungry cards of Tanaka, who also had spades covered.
The flop peeled A♠Q♥5♠. When the 5♣ came on the turn Martinez wished his opponents luck and said his farewells as the 8♦ sealed his fate on an inconsequential river.
