Plesuv Wisely Checks Back

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♦.
