Martirosian Spikes the River to Stay Alive
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Artur Martirosian open-jammed all in from middle position for 370,000, and action folded to Matthew Davenport in the small blind who threw in the call. Yake Wu in the big blind folded.
Artur Martirosian: Q♠K♣
Matthew Davenport: A♦Q♦
Martirosian was in trouble, and the 7♦A♠5♠ flop made it even worse, and as he stood up and said "Good luck" to the table, the K♥ fell on the turn and gave him some hope of staying alive.
The miracle K♠ then peeled off on the river and gave Martirosian trips and another life in the tournament as he was pushed the pot for a full double up.
