Martinez Busts Eisen and Finlayson
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Brandon Eisen raised on the button to 25,000 and Daniel Finlayson responded with a shove for 229,000 in the small blind. Raul Martinez in the big blind called and then also instantly called when Eisen pushed for more than 530,000 total.

"I like the deuces here," Jerod Smith said and he knows from experience what it means to get there with the inferior hand preflop on the very same table. Sure enough the deuces improved on the flop but Martinez regained the lead on the turn.
The board didn't pair anymore but the meaningless river also gave Martinez a set of queens on top of his flush to secure the double knockout.
