I'm looking forward to reading the next offering from Black Belt Poker blogger Hugo Martin, but sadly it won't have the glorious ending that many hoped it would. A hometown hero of sorts, the Vic stalwart put in a fine performance, but fell inches short of the finishing line. But, still, he's squeezed onto the podium, and takes home $6,000 for third, as well as the comforting knowledge that he lasted longer than his fellow bloggers.
Martin made his final steps with Ac-9s, pushing all in from the button before being snapped off by Karim Louis's Qd-Qh in the small blind. The Ah-7h-8d flop brought cheers aplenty and magnetised Vicky Coren towards the table, but a Tc turn followed by a crowd-gasping Qc river left onlookers slightly stunned, and reminded everyone of the unpredictable workings of an oft cruel game.
