Martirosian Gets the Better of Plesuv With a Straight
Level 23
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv raised to 600,000 on the button and Artur Martirosian defended from the big blind.
Both players checked through the 4♥3♣6♣ flop to see the 10♣ hit the turn. Martirosian led out for 1,250,000, and Plesuv responded with a raise to 3,100,000. Martirosian stuck around with a call to see a river.
A check came from Martirosian on the K♠ river, and Plesuv elected to bet 5,300,000. Martirosian immediately called.
Plesuv revealed two pair with 10♥6♦, but it was no good against Martirosian's rivered straight with 5♠2♠.
