Action was reported to PokerNews after a big pot between Angel Martin and 888poker qualifier Asif Warris.
Martin raised from early position and was three-bet by Warris in the big blind. Martin then four-bet and Warris called to see the Q♥A♦7♦ flop.
Warris led out and called when Martin moved all in.
Angel Martin: A♠A♥
Asif Warris: 7♠7♣
Both players flopped a set, with Martin's aces firmly in front. The Q♠ turn and 3♣ river changed nothing, doubling up Martin while leaving Warris short.

After chips already hit the middle of the table to his right, Angel Martin slid out a preflop raise to 5,700. Only one opponent called to see the 4♥4♣5♦ flop.
Martin fired 5,500 and was check-called to the 9♥ turn, where both players checked. Action checked to Martin again after the 7♦ river and he slid out a big bet of 21,500.
That was enough to produce a fold to his left, as Martin raked in a sizeable early pot.
