Thorel Leads; Martirosian Takes Some Off Yan
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel pulled above two million in chips and took over the lead from David Yan, who lost a pot without showdown against Artur Martirosian.
It was Martirosian who opened to 45,000 from under the gun and Yan came along in the cutoff. Heads-up to the 
flop, Martirosian checked and then called Yan's bet of 100,000. Both checked the 
turn and the 
river completed a possible flush.
Martirosian bet for just 52,000 and Yan folded.
