Martirosian Cannot Bluff Mateos

Level 1 : 250/500, 60 ante

Adrian Mateos raised it up to 1,250 on the button and was called only by Artur Martirosian out of the big blind.

Martirosian then led the {3-Spades} river for 5,850 and Mateos reluctantly called to win the pot with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} versus {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.
