Samual Chips Away at Martirosian’s Lead
Level 53
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Darius Samual raised 70,000 with Q♦J♥, and then faced a 250,000 three-bet from Artur Martirosian, who held A♣J♦.
Samual called, prompting the dealer to fan 4♣Q♥K♦ on the flop. Samual paired his queen, while his opponent flopped a gut-shot straight draw.
Martirosian bet 125,000, which Samual called to put the pot at 750,000.
The turn paired the board when K♣ arrived. Martirosian didn’t slow down and bet 275,000 to push the pot to 1,025,000.
Samual took a moment before announcing an all-in bet, which forced Martirosian out of the hand and gave Samual a nice pot.
