Martinez Doubles up with King High
Cedric Seve opened for 8,000 from early position. He got a call from the player to his left before Jesus Martinez reraised to 31,000 from the hijack. Seve made the call while the rest of the table got out of the way.
On the flop, Seve led out for 20,000. Martinez called.
On the turn, Seve again led out, this time for 40,000. Martinez thought briefly before pushing all his chips into the middle, for a raise to 81,000. Seve made the call with Martinez covered.

Cedric Seve:
Martinez was ahead, but Seve had plenty of outs with a flush draw, open ended straight draw, or he could simply pair his nine, although Martinez did block some of those outs with a flush draw of his own. The hit the felt on the river, and Martinez's king high was still best. He scooped the pot and doubled up.
