Atsushi Nineki raised to 120,000 in the small blind, and Kevin Martin said he was all in from the big. Nineki went into the tank for about a minute and then called.
Nineki:
Martin:
"Argh," Nineki muttered when a flop hit the board, pairing Martin's nine and giving him a big lead. The turn and the river were bricks for Nineki, and he took his leave in third.
Martin has roughly a 2-1 lead as heads-up play begins.
