Evelyn Martinez opens for 325,000 on what is going to be the final hand before first break at the final table of the PokerAtlas Tour Title Event.
Action folds to chipleader Manny McKenzie in the SB, who make it 1,200,000 to go. Elan Lepovic steps aside from the BB, Martinez looks to be prepared to call but hesitates, looks once more at her cards, then decides to call off her 1,325,000 - and McKenzie snap-calls the last few chips.
Martinez - a front desk hostess here at TCH Social Austin - shows Q♠️ J♥️, while McKenzie tables Tens
That is Q♣️ in the window, and McKenzie nods, seeing he likely loses this hand. The runout 2♥️ 3♦️ 6♥️ 8♣️ confirms and Martinez doubles. McKenzie 'slips' to about 12 million and players head off on break.
We'll check up on current chipcounts and be back after break.
