Martinez Doubles Back

Under the gun, Raul Mestre opened the pot to 66,000, and Massimilano Martinez three-bet shoved from the cutoff. It was 624,000 total, but Jose Miguel Esteban wanted to play for more. He re-shoved for about 1.4 million from the button, and everyone including Mestre ducked out of the way. Once more, it was a big coin flip for a big pot -- especially big for the at-risk Martinez.

Showdown
Martinez: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Esteban: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

Martinez's pocket pair would hold strong as the board ran out {3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. With a sigh of relief, he's found his double, and it knocks Esteban down under 800,000 in the process.
