Martirosian Felts Rudolph
Level 9
: 3,500/7,000, 875 ante
It all started rather innocent as Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian was in the big blind and defended that against a min-raise to 14,000 by Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph in the cutoff. The 
flop brought a check-call for 26,600 by Martirosian and he did so again for 63,000 on the 
turn.
The fell on the river and Martirosian checked, which allowed Rudolph to bet 126,000 with 139,275 behind. Martirosian then moved all-in and received a call to flip over 
for a full house, which beat the 
for a turned straight by Rudolph.
