Sergio Martinez Eliminated in 9th Place ($13,191)
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After a stalemate that lasted nearly two hours, Sergio Martinez got his short stack in the middle against Yusuke Tanaka.
Sergio Martinez: 9?8?7?6?
Yusuke Tanaka: K?Q?10?J?
Martinez was plenty live with a double-suited rundown against the Broadway-hungry cards of Tanaka, who also had spades covered.
The flop peeled A?Q?5?. When the 5? came on the turn Martinez wished his opponents luck and said his farewells as the 8? sealed his fate on an inconsequential river.
