Plesuv Wisely Checks Back
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv raised the button to 450,000 and Artur Martirosian defended from the big blind.
Martirosian knuckled it over to Plesuv on the A♠10♦4♠ flop and Plesuv continued with a bet of 375,000. Martirosian stuck around with a call.
A second check came from Martirosian on the J♦ turn, and Plesuv fired again, this time for 1,100,000. Martirosian elected to call.
Both players checked the 7♥ river and Martirosian announced, "I win," before turning over J♠10♥ for two pair. Plesuv mucked 7♦5♦.
