From under the gun, David Martirosyan raised to 700. Timothy Adams three-bet to 2,000 from the hijack seat before Jim McCrink flatted on the button. Faraz Jaka flat-called out of the small blind and action moved back to Martirosyan, the original raiser.
Martirosyan reraised to 7,100 with a four-bet and that folded out both Adams and McCrink. Jaka studied, though, and he studied long and hard. Eventually, Jaka moved all in for approximately 35,000 and Martirosyan snap-called.
Martirosyan tabled the 
and was ahead of Jaka's 
. From there, the board ran out 



and Jaka was off to the registration desk to reload. Martirosyan climbed to about 90,000 in chips.
