Martin Chops with Finne

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante

Jesse Martin open-completed and both Tim Finne and Benjamin Dobson called.

Martin bet fourth and Finne raised as Dobson folded. Martin made the call, and on fifth, he led out for 200,000. Finne announced a raise, and Martin committed his 370,000 total.

Dobson: {X-}{X-} / {J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} (folded on fourth)
Martin: {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Finne: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Martin held trip fours and a backdoor low draw against Finne's made straight.

On sixth, Martin found the {7-Diamonds}, and Finne the {K-Spades}.

On seventh, Finne immediately revealed his {A-Spades}, and Martin squeezed the {3-Hearts} to find his backdoor low to stay alive with a chop.
