Nguyen Cracks Aces to Leave Martirosian With Crumbs
Level 16
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Nguyen was in the hijack and raised to 160,000. Artur Martirosian three-bet to 680,000 in the big blind, and Nguyen spent one time bank before moving in his stack of 3,480,000 in response.
Martirosian snap-called to put his opponent at risk.
Christopher Nguyen: K♠Q♠
Artur Martirosian: A♠A♣
The 5♠2♠7♥ flop presented Nguyen with a flush draw, and the K♥ turn gave him even more outs against Martirosian's aces.
The Q♦ made Nguyen two pair, cracking the aces of Martirosian to double up and leave the former chipleader short.
