Martirosian Sends Grafton to the Rail

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Artur Martirosian opened to 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Sam Grafton in the cutoff, Cary Katz on the button, and Stephen Chidwick in the big blind. The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {10-Spades} on the turn.

Martirosian took a stab at the pot with a bet of 21,000 and only Grafton called. The {j-Diamonds} on the river put four diamonds on the board and Martirosian shipped all in. Grafton was left with just 52,000 and went into the tank for over a minute before calling it off. Martirosian tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for an ace-high flush while Grafton was left with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a ten-high flush.
