"Face Up"

John Martin opened with a raise to 150,000, Hieu Luu reraised to 375,000 behind him, and all folded back to Martin who made the call.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}, and both checked. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}. Martin checked, Luu bet 500,000, Martin reraised all in for 2.075 million, and Luu tanked a bit before folding.

"Face up or face down?" asked Martin of Luu afterwards, referring to whether or not he'd like to see Martin's hand. "Face up," said Luu, predictably. Martin showed {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Martin has 3.85 million now, and Luu 4.75 million.
