Martin Sends Pimenta Packing
Kenneth Martin opened the action from early position with a raise to 3,000. Caio Cesar Pimenta flatted from the button and Pascal LeFrancois also called from the big blind.
The flop came and the first two players checked to Pimenta who fired 4,300. LeFrancois folded and Martin asked Pimenta for a full count of his stack. "About 30 behind," Pimenta responded, referring to having 30,000 chips.
"Ok, I'm all in," Martin told him. Martin had him slightly covered and Pimenta squirmed in his seat for a few minutes before announcing a call. Martin flipped over and was ahead of Pimenta's for our second such situation of the day. The turn was the and the river was the . Although both players boated up, it would be Martin busting Pimenta just before the bubble to chip him up to 75,000.
