Mkhitaryan Scores Two Big Pots in a Row
On the first hand the player in the cutoff, Aram Mkhitaryan raised to 1,000 and the button and both blinds made the call. The flop came out 4♦9♥2♥ and Mkhitaryan bet out 1,000 and the player on the button shoved all in for his last 16,000. Mkhitaryan made the call.
Button: K♥10♠
Aram Mkhitaryan: K♦Q♦
Both players had nada and that did not change on the turn 3♣ or the river 5♦ but Mkhitaryan's kicker came into play.
Mkhitaryan said, "You are going to post that hand? Well hopefully I make it to the final table."
The very next hand Mkhitaryan was on the button when the player in the hijack raised to 4,000. Mkhitaryan three-bet to 12,000 and the hijack four-bet to effective 72,000 all in. Mkhitaryan made the call and this time he was at risk.
Aram Mkhitaryan: J♠J♦
Player in hijack: K♥10♠
The board came with 2♥8♥2♠2♦3♠ and Mhitaryan had a full house and the hijack had a very low stack.
