Martirosian Gets Paid With a Straight

Tim Baker

Level 12 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Atilla Saracoglu raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Artur Martirosian defended his big blind.

Martirosian checked to Saracoglu on the K♥9♣10♥ flop, and Saracoglu continued for 16,000. Martirosian called.

Both players checked the 6♦ turn before the 7♠ completed the board. Martirosian then led out for 64,000, and Saracoglu quickly called.

Martirosian turned over 8♠6♥ for a straight, which was enough to earn him the pot.
