Ben Hock limps and Michael Martin checks. The flop comes 10 6 3. Martin bets $23,000 and Ben Hock calls. The turn comes 7 and Hock checks but Martin raises $54,000. Ben Hock re-raises to $100,000.

Martin thinks for a couple of minutes and finally decides to go all-in. Hock makes the call and Martin shows him 8 4 for the flush draw and double gut-shot straight draw. Meanwhile Hock has 10 6 for two pair.

The entire tournament will be decided on the next card and it falls 3 and puts an end to Martin's first-place dreams.

Michael Martin will take home $94,263 for second place while Ben Hock wins $169,237 for first place plus a $10,000 seat into the main event.

Congratulations to everybody who took part in this year's WSOPC Horseshoe Council Bluffs.

Michael Martin is making moves early in Level 15 and it's paying off. Martin bet $32,000 pre-flop and Ben Hock called.

The flop came Q 10 8 and Hock checked. Martin raised to $48,000 and Hock called. The turn came 2 and Hock once again checked. Martin started positioning his chips as if he was going to go all-in and Hock preemptively folded.

Martin rakes $80,000.

Ben Hock bets $40,000 pre-flop and Michael Martin shoves all-in for approximately $200,000. Hock can't make the call and mucks A-10 face up.

The cards are once again in the air in the Whiskey Roadhouse at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs. Blinds are now $8,000/$16,000 with a $2,000 ante. Two men enter, one man leaves!*

*As the winner.

Players are enjoying a 15-minute break and when they come back they get to deal with Level 15. Yay!

Here are the chip counts:

Ben Hock: $776,000

Michael Martin: $214,000

Michael Martin raises to $30,000 pre-flop and Ben Hock calls. The flop comes K J 9 and both players check. The turn comes 8 and Hock checks. Martin opts to raise $40,000 and Hock lays it down.

That hand is indicative of recent hands. Not a lot of action and Martin still needs to make up a lot of ground. 

Michael Martin is in a bad situation and he seems committed to playing defense so far. The last few hands have seen Hock and Martin limp and then check all the way to the river. Martin won two of the hands with queen-high and jack-high respectively. He's going to have to make a move soon if he wants a decent shot at winning this thing.

Ben Hock is first to act and makes it $31,000 to go. Michael Martin re-raises an additional $64,000 and Hock calls.

The flop comes 10 9 6 and Martin bets $115,000. Ben Hock announces he is all-in and Martin insta-folds. It's a huge pot for Hock and Martin is left with only $160,000. 

Michael Martin and Ben Hock are now playing heads-up poker with a bunch of money on the line. Good luck!

They are doing a presentation with the money right now and after that we will go to heads-up play. The chip counts are as follows:

Michael Martin $542,000

Ben Hock $453,000
