Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The flop came 9♣6♦2♦. Martirosian checked and Deeb fired a 1,200 continuation bet. Martirosian put in a check-raise to 4,800, only for Deeb to three-bet to 12,200. Martirosian four-bet to 25,000 and Deeb moved all in for 62,300. Martirosian, who was slightly covered, made the call to put himself at risk.

Artur Martirosian: 6♥2♥
Shaun Deeb: 9♦7♦

Martirosian was ahead with bottom two pair against Deeb's top pair and flush draw. The 8♠ gave Deeb some more outs in the form of an open ended straight draw and the 9♥ river gave him trips to score a full double up and early knockout.

Martirosian would use his option to reenter shortly afterwards.
