Kulev Triple Barrels Into Martirosian's Trips

Alex Kulev raised to 27,000 on the button and Artur Martirosian defended from the big blind.

Martirosian check-called a bet of 15,000 from Kulev on the A♥J♦J♣ flop.

The turn came the 7♠ and Martirosian check-called a second bet from Kulev, this time for 67,000.

A 9♥ completed the board and Martirosian checked for the last time. Kulev announced a bet of 190,000, and was instantly called by Martirosian.

Kulev showed a busted straight draw with Q♠10♦ and lost the pot to Martirosian's J♠5♥ for trip jacks,
