Andrew Swenson: J♦J♥
Swenson was ahead with his jacks, while Martinez was on a flush draw as he shot out of his seat and began pacing around the table.
Martinez didn't make his flush on the turn, but he did hit the K♦ to take the lead with a pair of kings. The river was the 3♦ and Martinez doubled up.
"Vamos," he yelled out as he returned to the table.
"You didn't have to be so greedy, my friend. Vamos for Messi," Swenson added, taking the bad beat with a smile still on his face.
