Martin Has His Opponent Drawing Dead
A player in early position opened to 24,000 and Kevin Martin three-bet to 72,000 from the seat to his left. After it folded back around to the early position player he made the call.
The action got checked to Martin on the 8?4?K? flop and he put out a continuation-bet of 40,000. His opponent made the call and they headed to the turn.
The early position player checked for a second time when the dealer put out the 4?. Martin fired a second barrel of 60,000 this time. After he asked to see Martin's stack, the early position player moved all in for Martin's remaining 111,000. Martin made the call and the cards were revealed.
Kevin Martin; A?K? 
Early Position: A?9?
Martin had his opponent drawing dead, and when the inconsequential 3? hit the river, Martin had doubled up to almost 600,000.
