Event #28 marked Martin’s first WSOP final table. He started it off by casting Daniel Bishopaway in eighth place after Bishop 3bet all-in before the flop with Q-J. Martin made the call with K-6 and the board ran out A-A-4-3-6, giving him aces-up for the win and the fourth largest stack out of the seven players remaining.

However, Martin was ultimately crippled on the 68th hand of final table play after 5betting all-in before the flop with Q-Q. Masayuki Nagata called all-in with J-J and immediately hit a jack on the flop to take the lead. Martin picked up a flush draw on the turn, but whiffed on the river and was sunk.

Five hands later, Martin open-shoved all-in with A-5, but ran into Jason Duval‘s A-8. Duval hit an eight on the flop and never looked back, eliminating Martin in sixth place for $87,000.

Martin received complimentary Tweets from around the poker world, with PocketFiver Jared TheWacoKiddHamby commenting, “@Wretchy sick run, gross beat. feel awful for you. you will be back tho, chin up #boss.” Bryan Iknewwwit Leskowitz added, “Siiigh GGs boys @Wretchy @poochpoker. Get em next time. Nice run.”
