Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 8th Place - Martinson ($7,075)

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 7

Thos Martinson (Ft. Ann, NJ)
8th Place - $7,075

Thos Martinson was the shortest stack at the table, and he open shoved his remaining 795,000 under the gun plus one.  When the action folded to Rand Marsden, he would call the 795,000.  Frank Ferrigno was next to act and he would three-bet all-in (for a total of 1,270,000).  The action would be to Marsden to call the extra 400,000 and change, and after thinking for a moment, he said he was priced in and made the call:

Thos: Q♦ 10♠         Marsden: A♦ Q♠       Ferrigno: A♣ A♥

Flop: 9♠ 9♦ 5♣

Turn: Q♥

River: 5♠

Ferrigno's aces would hold, and he would chip up to 3,000,000, while knocking out Thos Martinson at the same time.
