Petrone Felts Martirosian

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone
Ramiro Petrone

Artur Martirosian had 7,000 committed to the pot in the cutoff and was facing a raise to 22,000 by Ramiro Petrone on the button. Martirosian thought about it and called.

The dealer spread the {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and Martirosian check-called for 12,500.

The {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Martirosian checked, and Petrone moved in enough chips to cover his opponent's remaining stack of 53,000. Martirosian deliberated for a bit and ultimately put in his chips.

Artur Martirosian: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Ramiro Petrone: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Martirosian needed a nine, but the {7-Spades} completed the board and he made his exit from the table, while the Argentinian Petrone took the pot to shoot up the leaderboard early in the tournament.

Seidel Starts off Slowly

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

In a hand on Table 2, Joris Ruijs opened the hijack for 2,500 and Erik Seidel, from the big blind, was the only caller. Seidel then check called the 1,500 flop continuation bet on {10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn saw Seidel elect to check once more and he swiftly folded to the 4,500 turn bet from Ruijs.

Seidel has not had the start he would have hoped for losing 30% of his stack in the first two levels whereas Ruijs, on the other hand, has had the opposite fortune and has grown his 100,000 starting stack to 180,000.
