Martirosian Gets Kabrhel Off a Chop

Dan Smith raised to 4,000,000 with 3♠3♦ second to act, which prompted everyone else to fold.

Martin Kabrhel then opened to 1,000,000 with A♣J♥ from the button and Artur Martirosian defended his big blind with Q♥9♠.

Both players had a bit of the J♦10♦3♦ flop, with Kabrhel having top pair while Martirosian had an open-ended straight draw.

Action checked through to the A♦ turn which improved Kabrhel to aces and jacks. Martirosian led out for 1,000,000 and Kabrhel called.

The 2♦ river put a flush on the board and Martirosian sized up to 2,400,000 to get Kabrhel off the chop.

The bet worked and Kabrhel folded.
