Artur Martirosian Eliminated in 7th Place ($200,000)
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Aren Bezhanyan picked up A♥A♣ in the hijack and made it 400,000 to go. Artur Martirosian had K♠Q♦ on the button and called.
They saw a flop of 5♠10♦K♦ and Bezhanyan continued for 500,000, which Martirosian called to see the 3♥ drop on the turn. Bezhanyan elected to check and Martirosian bet 1,500,000.
Bezhanyan didn't need to think for too long before he shoved, which put Martirosian to the test for the 3,400,000 he had behind. Martirosian went into the tank and used some extra time before he eventually called.
Martirosian needed a king or a queen on the river to stay alive, but the J♣ landed, and he was out in seventh.
