Blind Versus Blind Carnage in the Big Bet Streets
No Limit Hold 'em
Action folded all the way to Julien Martini in the small blind who flat called for 2,000. Jeremy Ausmus was in the big blind and put in the raise to 8,000. Without thinking for too long, Martini put in the back-three-bet to 37,000. Ausmus got an idea of his count and made the call.
The 5?6?J? flop hit the felt and Martini down-bet 24,000. Ausmus again made the call in-position.
The turn brought a 9? and Martini went into the tank for a moment before putting out a hefty bet to the tune of 75,000. Ausmus then thought it over, did some accounting of his stack, and leaned over and looked at Martini's. Eventually after about two minutes in the tank he announced "All in". Martini snapped.
The cards hit their back.
Julien Martini: J?J?
Jeremy Ausmus: K?Q?
Ausmus turned a gutter to go with his flush draw and two overs. Martini was sitting pretty with his top set while waiting on the river. It landed the K? and although Ausmus hit top pair it wouldn't save him from a crippled stack going into the middle levels of day one.
