Artur Martirosian made it 200,000 from the hijack with Pavel Plesuv calling in the cutoff and Yosuke Miki defending from the big blind.

Miki and Martirosian checked to Plesuv after seeing the 3Q9 flop, and Plesuv decided to place out a bet of 225,000. Miki folded and Martirosian called.

A second check came from Martirosian on the 5 turn, and Plesuv fired a second barrel of 750,000. Again, Martirosian just called.

The K completed the board, prompting Martirosian to lead out for 650,000. Plesuv used one of his time banks before eventually deciding to fold, surrendering the pot to Martirosian.
