Nice Pot for Plesuv

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were roughly 65,000 in the pot on 66A.

Pavel Plesuv, who was in the small blind, bet 7,000, and Artur Martirosian in middle position called.

The K on the turn prompted a check from Plesuv but not from Martirosian, as he fired out a bet of 21,000, which Plesuv called.

Both checked on the 6 river, and Plesuv picked up the pot with QQ.
