Phua Wins Big One from Martirosian

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Paul Phua was under-the-gun when he raised Artur Martirosian's big blind to 50,000, and Martirosian didn't seem to take too kindly to that as he three-bet him to 130,000. Phua called and the players went heads up to a flop with over 160,000 in the pot.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Martirosian led out for 50,000 and Phua simply called.

But on the turn {4-Diamonds}, Martirosian made it a little more with a 105,000 sizing and Phua went into the tank. After using one of his time banks, he eventually decided on a call. The pot now had now grown to roughly 475,000.

On the river, the {k-Clubs} came to pair the board, and this saw a check from Martirosian. After some thinking, Phua then slung out six green chips for a bet of 150,000, and now Martirosian was in the tank. All out of time chips, as the clock reached zero he was forced to make a decision or his hand was dead, and right at the last second, he made the call.

Phua then flipped over {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for top two pair, aces and kings, and Martirosian sucked his teeth and mucked his hand.

Phua was pushed the massive pot and his stack grew to over a million.
