Martie Stays Alive
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Svetlana Martie advanced to Sunday's Day 2 from Thurseday's initial flight, bagging just 56,000 and exclaiming to the room that she was putting "dust" into a bag. She just found herself getting that "dust" in preflop in the big blind against Maury Solano, who was on the button, and she found herself in bad shape.
Svetlana Martie: 
Maury Solano: 
Luckily for Martie, the flop 
gave her top set, which proved to save her tournament life as the turn 
and river 
both fell cleanly to complete the runout and secure her the double.
