Martinsek Takes a Massive Pot With Kings
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A massive pot had already developed as Jan Martinsek and Georgios Vrakas went heads-up to the turn on a board of 7?9?Q?6?.
According to tablemate Paul Runcan, Martinsek had opened to 600 in early position before Panagiotis Mavritsakis three-bet to 4,500 in the cutoff. Vrakas four-bet to 17,000 in the big blind, Martinsek five-bet to 37,000, and only Vrakas called. Both players then checked the flop.
Vrakas led out for 21,600 on the turn and Martinsek called. The 10? river was checked down and Martinsek turned over K?K?. Vrakas tossed ace-king into the muck as Martinsek took the pot.
