Martinez Crushes Grinder
A fateful turn card made all the difference for Barbara Martinez just now, as she doubled up to 53k courtesy of Michael Mizrachi. The pot was just a couple of thousand, no yellow 1k chips floating about yet as the board stood . Like Superman in a phone booth, however, it was all to change immediately.
Martinez check-raised Mizrachi to a healthy 4,000. He responded by raising to 8,000. She thought for a short while, then pushed in 21,000, removing her headphones at this symbolic no-fold movement... Mizrachi put the final raise in which committed the rest of her chips, and they were on their backs:
Mizrachi: for the flopped top two pair.
Martinez: for the turned set.
There were cards to bust her possible on the river, but it fell the harmless and that drops the Grinder down to 18,800.
