Conway Doubles Through Martin

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

With just 276,000 left, Thomas Conway moved all in from the cutoff. It folded to Alex Martin in the big blind who squeezed his cards and made the call.

Conway: {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Martin: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop was {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and the outcome looked bleak for Conway. He needed a Six or Seven while avoiding the pair and gut-shot straight redraw outs of Martin. Running diamonds would get him there as well. The turn paired his six with the {6-Spades}, leaving Martin ten outs to get us down to 11 players. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Conway will stay alive. He now has 575,000 while Martin is on a skid down to 1,200,000.
