Martins Catches River to Survive

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Antonio Martins
Antonio Martins

Hong Kong's Timothy Yim and Portugal's Antonio Martins have effectively swapped places in the pecking order, with Martins catching the perfect river card to keep his Main Event hopes alive.

It was Yim who was the initial aggressor, making it 11,000 from under-the-gun and picking up a caller on the button before Martins moved all-in for close to 67,000 or so from the small blind. After asking for a count, Yim slid in the calling chips and the button left the pair to get on with it and mucked his cards.

Antonio Martins: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Timothy Yim: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}

It was a race, and it was one that Yim took the lead in when the {q-Hearts} window card came off the deck, with the rest of the flop coming down {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. However, the poker gods had other plans for Martins, and while the {8-Diamonds} turn was of no help, the {5-Spades} river was just what the doctor ordered, with Martins stacking up to 155,000, while Yim walked off to kick an empty chair in frustration, dropping down to 90,000.
