Glenn Martinez has just been the beneficiary of a big cooler of a knockout pot.
It began with a player in middle position opening to 7,500, and Martinez defended his big blind to see a heads-up flop. The dealer spread out , and Martinez check-raised from 11,000 to 30,000. The bettor reraised all in for 106,000 total, and Martinez made the quick call with his covering stack.
