School is out

Fernando Martin made his exit

ParadisePoker's own Spanish poker school manager Fernando Martin is among the first exits on the return from dinner, running his relatively short stack into a set of 8s.

The tutor had opened from the button holding Q♥9♣ and opted to call when the big blind launched his defence with a three-bet. 

The flop seemed to favour Martin when he shoved over the top of his opponent's c-bet, but he was quickly called on the K♦-8♠-Q♣ board.

The turn offered some hope, bringing the Q♠ to add some outs, but the river was a blank that ended Fernando's day.

No less than 13 Fantasy Poker entrants had picked him, so there will be plenty of readers sharing his pain tonight.
