Double Knockout for Martinez Gonzalez
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a three-way flop of A♣J♥4♣, Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet the pot for 535,000 in the big blind. Robert Cowen called all-in for around 350,000 before Richard Gryko pushed all-in from the button for around 875,000 which the Spaniard called.
Robert Cowen: 8♣6♠5♥3♣
Richard Gryko: A♠J♦9♣5♠
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♦K♦Q♣3♠
Gryko was ahead with the top two pair while Cowen was had outs to a flush and gutshot wheel draw.
The 7♦ turn changed nothing much except that Cowen picked up even more straight outs to survive. However, Martinez Gonzalez hit the Q♥ river for aces and queens to send both shorter stacks to the rail. Cowen re-entered almost immediately to another table.
