Heartbreaker on the River For Martz
Level 13: 2000/4000 (4000)
Entries: 49/158
Marcel Frank Martz opened from an early position and was called by Matthieu Noel Burguiere in the big blind. The flop came 8♠7♥9♦ (rainbow), and after Burguiere checked, Martz made a small bet of 5,000. Burguiere responded with a raise to 26,000, and Martz called.
The turn brought the Q♦, and Burguiere instantly moved all-in, putting Martz to the test for his remaining 60,000 chips. After a sigh, Martz called and both hands were revealed:
- Marcel Frank Martz: 9♣9♥ (set of nines)
- Matthieu Noel Burguiere: Q♠10♥ (top pair with an open-ended straight draw)
With Martz ahead, the river turned the tables as the dealer revealed the 6♥, completing Burguiere’s straight and delivering a crushing blow to Martz’s set. A nightmare river for the German, as Burguiere scooped up the pot.
Matthieu Noel Burguiere: 420,000
