Martinsson Takes Two on the River

David Salituro

Niveau 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alf Martinsson raised to 220,000 under the gun and Michael Rocco called in the hijack.

Both players checked the K♠6♦8♠ flop before Martinsson bet 400,000 on the 7♦ turn.

Rocco called and the A♣ fell on the river. Martinsson then bet 550,000 and Rocco quickly mucked.

Lachezar Petkov then raised to 210,000 in the cutoff and Martinsson defended his big blind.

The flop came J♣10♣10♦ and Petkov continued for 135,000. Martinsson called as the 9♥ turn was checked through.

Martinsson led out for 1,000,000 on the 2♦ river and Petkov, like Rocco, quickly gave up his hand.
