Michael Martin Poker Tournament Updates

Level 8 Update -- Defending Champion Michael Martin Out Oct 03, '09 Blinds: 400-800 with a 75 ante Players Remaining: 215 out of 426 Average Chip Count: 59,000 Notable Eliminations: Jason Mercier Amnon Filippi Joe Ebanks Jonas Molander Ruben Visser Michael Martin Big Hands: Jason Mercier Ends His Day Things just never got going for Jason Mercier today and yes we realize how odd of a statement that is. After a player opened in the cutoff, Mercier made his all-in move on the short stack with A-Q. His plan may have worked, had the big blind not woken up with A-K and moved all-in to isolate. The original raiser folded and the board offered no help to the man who does so well here in Europe. A disappointing day to be sure, but we have a feeling that Mercier will ultimately feel pretty good about his time here in London, thanks to a very profitable WSOP Europe Main Event. Amnon Filippi Heads For The Door A short-stacked Amnon Filippi found the rest of his stack all-in holding A-Q against an opponent’s pocket tens. A ten on the flop all but sealed his fate and Filippi was eliminated. Earlier, he joked about entering the ongoing £1,000 pot-limit Omaha eight-or-better event, but now, it’s definitely an option. Steve Sung Takes a Hit Steve Sung and his opponent got a stack of 14,275 all-in preflop, racing against AQ. Sung’s pocket nines looked good until the turn on a board reading 4227, but the river Qs gave the pot to his opponent. Tis but a flesh wound, however, since Sung is still healthily stacked with over 95,000 in chips. Defending Champion Eliminated We don’t know why or how it happened, but defending EPT London winner Michael Martin has been eliminated.
