Martirosian Takes the Lead for the First Time
Level 44
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Chance Kornuth raised to 65,000 on the button and Artur Martirosian called from the big blind. The flop came K♦Q♦2♦ and both players checked to the 4♥ on the turn.
Martirosian led out with an overbet of 180,000 and Kornuth called to see the 3♥ on the river. Martirosian announced another large bet of 400,000 and Kornuth wasted little time to call. Martirosian flipped over 6♣5♦ for a rivered straight and Kornuth was unable to beat it.
"I would've called a shove," Kornuth pointed out.
