David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Artur Martirosian just busted for the second time today after losing back-to-back hands to Santhosh Suvarna and Sam Greenwood.

In the first hand, Pieter Aerts raised to 3,500 in the hijack and Suvarna three-bet to 13,000 in the cutoff. Martirosian four-bet to 35,000 in the big blind and Suvarna called.

The flop came J♠10♣6♥ and Martirosian bet 25,000. Suvarna called to see the 3♣ turn, where Martirosian bet another 50,000. Suvarna again called.

Both players checked the 2♦ river and Martirosian showed 8♠8♥. Suvarna turned over A♥10♠ for a pair of tens to take the pot.

The next hand, Viktor Kudinov raised to 4,000 in the cutoff, Sam Greenwood three-bet to 14,000 on the button, and Martirosian four-bet to 37,000 in the small blind. Kudinov folded, while Greenwood moved all in and Martirosian called for 164,000.

Artur Martirosian: A♦K♦ All in
Sam Greenwood: 5♠5♣

Martirosian was racing for his tournament life, but the Q♦Q♣5♥ flop proved a disaster as Greenwood made a full house. The rest of the board ran out 6♠7♠ and Martirosian was sent to the rail again.
