Martirosian Bluffs It Off; Salomon Books Quick Exit

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Artur Martirosian
Artur Martirosian

With around 195,000 in the pot, Artur Martirosian fired a bet of 115,000 on the A2210 turn from the big blind. Sam Soverel called in the hijack, after which the 8 river completed the board.

Martirosian wasted little time in moving his remaining 295,000 over the line, only to be snapped off by Soverel. Martirosian could only show a bluff with 54, and he was eliminated as soon as Soverel showed 1010 for a full house.

Over at another table, Rick Salomon lost his last chips about 15 minutes after buying into the event.
