Martirosian Cracks Aces
Level 39
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Patrick Kennedy raised to 20,000, and Artur Martirosian defended the big blind.
The flop came out J♦3♥K♦, Martirosian checked over to Kennedy who fired out a continuation bet of 14,000. Martirosian decided to make the call and see a turn.
On the turn was the K♣, which both players choose to check, and see a river.
The 8♣ on the river completed the board, and Martirosian bet 78,000, which was snapped off by Kennedy, who then flipped over AxAx. However, he was given the bad news when Martirosian tabled K♥9♦ for trip Kings, and Martirosian scoops another sizable pot to extend his lead.
