Sean Winter
Sean Winter

Sean Winter raised the button to 400,000 and Pavel Plesuv defended from the big blind.

Check, check followed the 344 flop and the J came on the turn. Plesuv bet 550,000, which Winter called.

After seeing the 2 hit the river, Plesuv jammed for Winter's remaining 2,500,000. Winter gave it a lot of thought before eventually deciding to call for all of his chips.

Plesuv showed a bluff with Q10 and lost the pot to Winter's A10 for just ace-high.

Level 22 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Artur Martirosian raised to 800,000 from the small blind and Pavel Plesuv called from the big blind.

Both players checked the KQ2 flop and the 2 hit the turn. Martirosian placed out a delayed continuation-bet of 550,000, and Plesuv continued with a call.

A double board-pairing K completed the runout, and Martirosian overbet for 3,500,000. Plesuv quickly called and Martirosian sheepishly tabled 106, playing the board.

Plesuv showed KJ for a full house to take down the pot, close the gap on Martirosian, and distance himself over short-stacked Winter.

Martirosian Bluffs Winter

Level 22 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Artur Martirosian
Artur Martirosian

Artur Martirosian raised to 400,000 from the button and Sean Winter three-bet to 2,200,000 out of the big blind. Martirosian continued with a call and the two players saw the dealer fan the 4A3 flop.

Winter bet 500,000 and Martirosian called for the J to arrive on the turn.

Both players checked and a board-pairing J hit the river. Winter checked for the final time and Martirosian took a few moments before jamming for Winter's remaining 4,735,000.

Winter winced, scratched his head and went deep into the tank. Having saved up plenty of time banks throughout the tournament for a moment exactly like this, Winter burned through several of them thinking of how to proceed.

Eventually, Winter decided a fold was best with 1010, only for Martirosian to calmly drag in the pot with 55 for a bluff.
