Martin Gets There on Baker

After James Martin limped from the small blind, Michael Baker moved all in from the big blind for 600,000. 

After thinking it over for a few seconds, Martin decided to make the call to put Baker at risk. 

Baker: A♦K♠
Martin: 5♥6♥

Baker was ahead with his big slick, but the flop of 7♥8♠3♣ made him sweat as Martin was open-ended. The turn 3♠ didn't change anything, but the 9♦ on the river sure did as Martin completed his straight to send Baker to the rail. 

Martin - 3,700,000
Baker - 0
