Stausholm Doubles With Rivered Straight
Martin Raus kicked things off from middle position and raised to 2,300. Artur Martirosian in the small blind called. Martin Stausholm was sitting in the big blind, and he decided to three-bet to 8,500. Only Martirosian made the call.
On the A♠8♥7♠ flop, Martirosian check-called the 4,000 bet of Stausholm.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn.
Martirosian checked once again on the Q♣ river, and Stausholm went all in. Martirosian asked the dealer for a count, and they confirmed 25,100.
Martirosian then went into a deep tank, thinking for almost three minutes about his next move. In the end, he decided to call, and Stausholm showed K♣J♠ for a straight whilst Martirosian flashed KxQx for a pair of queens before he mucked the cards and paid Stausholm's double-up.
