Martirosian's Snowmen Help Him Chip Up
Level 3
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 18,000 from the hijack and Alex Kulev called from the big blind.
Kulev check-called a bet of 32,000 from Martirosian on the 5♠J♥3♦ flop.
The 7♠ rolled off on the turn and Kulev opted to lead out for 16,000. Martirosian continued with a call.
A 4♣ completed the board and Kulev led out for the minimum of 8,000. After burning through a time bank, Martirosian called and Kulev tabled 10♣5♣ for a pair of fives. Martirosian had that beat with 8♠8♦ for a pair of eights and the pot headed his way.
