John Martin Eliminated in 57th Place ($108,047)

[user38449]

Billy Kopp has just eliminated John Martin from the Main Event, and in doing so, he's skyrocketed to the top of the leaderboard. Here's how the hand went down:

Kopp opened the pot with a raise to 125,000 from under-the-gun and was called by both Luis Nargentino (hijack) and Martin (cutoff).

The flop came {A-Spades}

and the action was checked to Martin who led out with a 250,000 bet. Kopp was the lone caller and he and Martin went heads-up to 4th Street, which brought the {K-Diamonds}

.

Kopp again passed the first action to Martin, who led out with a 500,000 bet. Kopp then check-raised to 2,325,000 and Martin responded by moving all in for an additional 300k. Kopp made the call and tabled {6-Hearts}
