Martirosian Wins Blind Versus Blind

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action went heads-up to a flop of 29Q in a limped pot between Artur Martirosian in the small blind and Johannes Straver in the big blind.

Martirosian led out for 30,000 with QJ for top pair and Straver called with J8 for a gutshot.

The turn brought the 8, Martirosian bet 120,000, and Straver called again, bringing the 4 river.

Martirosian bet once more, this time for 270,000, and Straver called only to see the bad news.
