With the blinds at 8K/16K, Eric Martin was down to roughly 10 big blinds when he decided to make his move. As the first to act, he moved all-in before the flop, forcing Victor Soumis and Normand Plessis Belair to fold, but Brigitte Metivier, in the big blind, made the call and put her tournament life at risk. Hands were tabled to show that both players had legitimate hands for the situation; Martin held , and Metivier tabled .
Board:
Metivier took down the pot thanks to her aces-up, and Martin was reduced to less than three big blinds. Martin’s run came to an end not long after when he woke up with pocket fours in the small blind, only to run into Soumis’ pocket queens in the big blind. The runout did not provide Martin’s two-outer, and he hit the rail in fourth place. He will collect $420 for the deep run.
