Action folded around to Artur Martirosian, who raised to 140,000 from the button with K♦J♦. Alex Kulev called in the small blind with Q♦10♦.
The flop came K♣3♣6♠. Kulev checked and Martirosian checked back with his pair of kings.

The river was the 9♠, completing Kulev's straight. He led out for 440,000. Martirosian made the call with his two pair and Kulev scooped a significant pot on the second hand dealt on Day 3.
