Vahe Martirosyan open-raised to 24,000 from middle position. Roman Stoika called on the button, and Casimir Seire followed suit from the small blind.
Martirosyan continued for 32,000 on the 2♠10♥Q♣ flop. Stoika called before Seire check-folded.
Martirosyan slowed down on the 8♦ turn with a check. Stoika bet 85,000 in response, which Martirosyan called.
Martirosyan checked again on the 3♠ river. This time, Stoika bet 258,000, leaving only a few chips behind. Martirosyan spent a minute in the tank before he flicked in a calling chip.
Stoika tabled K♦J♠ for a bluff, leaving Martirosyan to take the pot with Q♠J♦ for top pair.
