Kevin Martin's Series of Unfortunate Events
Kevin Martin had his queens cracked by the ace-jack of Michael Young, which left him with about 1,500,000 in chips.
Just one hand later it folded to him in the small blind and he went all in, but his opponent did fold.
When it folded to Martin on the button the hand after that he went all in again for about 1,800,000 and the big blind made the call.
Kevin Martin: A?3?
Jonathan Edmondson: A?4?
Martin pulled out his phone to document the moment and went on to say he was just looking for a chop, as he wasn't a greedy man.
The flop was a sweat as rolled, Q?7?J?, to which Martin said, "We need high cards that are not a club!" His wish came true on the turn when the K? appeared, but the wind was taken from his sails when the 6? fell on the river, delivering the final blow.
Edmondson won the pot with his flush, shook hands with Martin, and said, "I had your number today..." as he shrugged and wished his opponent well.
