Martin Wins Big with Two Pair
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was caught on the flop of Q?J?6? in a hand between Michael Choe in the hijack and John Martin in the cutoff.
With 13,100 in the pot, Choe check-called a bet of 7,500 from Martin, bringing the A? turn.
Choe checked again and Martin bet 11,500. Choe then came over the top and moved all in, putting Martin at risk, who had 37,800 behind. Martin thought for a moment and reluctantly put in the call.
John Martin: A?Q? 
Michael Choe: J?10?
The river landed the 8? and Martin's two pair, aces and queens, earned him the pot and the double up.
