Martirosian Flushes Grubinger Out

Tim Baker

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 105,000 from the cutoff before Marcel Grubinger potted it from the small blind. Martirosian shoved, and Grubinger called for his stack of around 500,000.

Marcel Grubinger: A♦A♣9♠9♣ All in
Artur Martirosian: A♠K♥K♠10♣

Martirosian started the hand with not too much more than Grubinger, so this pot was pivotal to his future in Day 1a of the Main Event.

Martirosian picked up a flush draw on the 5♠8♠3♣ flop, although Grubinger's bullets were still ahead.

A 7♦ hit the turn, which meant only a king or spade would bust Grubinger.

The dealer peeled out the 3♠ on the river to complete Martirosian's flush, and Grubinger said, "GG", as he tapped the table and headed for the rail.

Marcel Grubinger called from under the gun and Martin Dam limped behind in the hijack. Artur Martirosian completed from the small blind and Klemens Roiter checked his option from the big blind.

All four players checked to the river on the A♦Q♠8♦Q♣3♠ board before Martirosian bet out for 120,000. Roiter, Grubinger, and Dam folded, allowing Martirosian to pull in a crucial pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Oswin Ziegelbecker limped the hijack before Artur Martirosian potted it to 110,000 from the cutoff. Martin Dam called from the big blind and Ziegelbecker also called.

The flop of 9♥A♦3♣ checked to Martirosian, and decided to bet 150,000. Dam check-raised the pot, and this got two snap-folds from Ziegelbecker and Martirosian

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Liviu Ignat limped the cutoff and Youness Barakat called from the button. Dennis Weiss completed from the small blind and Espen Sandvik checked his big blind.

After three checks on the Q♠A♣3♠ flop, Barakat bet 50,000. Weiss and Sandvik called, while Ignat folded.

Everyone checked the K♠ turn to see the 3♦ arrive on the river. Weiss checked, and Sandvik bet 35,000. Barakat tossed his cards away, but Weiss called.

Sandvik flipped over a full house with A♦9♠6♠3♥, and Weiss mucked his cards.

At the other table, Daniel Thaller was seen get up from his seat and has lost all of his chips in the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Youness Barakat raised to 75,000 from the cutoff with Espen Sandvik calling out of the small blind, and Phillip Wunscher defending from the big blind.

When it got to Barakat on the 2♥A♣6♠ flop, he fired a continuation-bet of 65,000. Sandvik and Wunscher stuck around with a call.

Sandvik checked first on the 4♦ turn, and Wuinscher led out for 150,000. This was enough to get folds out of Barakat and Sandvik, allowing Wunscher to pull in a much-needed pot.

Jeremy Trojand was seen making his way to the exit and has been eliminated.

Youness Barakat	1,000,000 85,000	85,000

Stormyr Busts "Dafishh"

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sondre Stormyr raised to 75,000 from the small blind and Dafishh called from the big blind.

Stormyr put Dafishh all in for about 100,000 on the 4♣3♣J♦ flop and Dafishh instantly called.

Dafishh: K♠6♥5♣4♥ All in
Sondre Stormyr: A♥A♣K♥10♠

Stormyr had aces, but Dafishh could hit a lot of cards to double-up and stay in with a chance of making Day 2.

The 8♦ was safe for Stormyr's aces, and so was the 8♠ river. Dafishh hit the rail and Stormyr was the first player to surpass the two million chip mark.
