'Thank You For Everything You've Done', Zlotnikov Looking for a Coach
Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 7,000 on the button, and Artur Martirosian called in the big blind.
The action checked through on the J♠5♥8♣ flop, and the A♠ turn saw Martirosian check-call a 17,000 bet by Zlotnikov.
The 8♠ river completed the board, and both players returned to checking.
Martirosian announced he had a jack, but Zlotnikov tabled A♦9♦. Martirosian then mucked his hand, so Zlotnikov returned his other two cards to the dealer face down.
As the hand finished, Erik Seidel joined the table.
"Thank you for everything you've done for poker", Zlotnikov said to the Hall of Fame inductee.
"How many bracelets do you have?" he continued.
"Ten", Seidel replied, after being asked for a second time.
"I lost heads up for one, the other day", Zlotnikov shared before asking Seidel, "Can you teach me?"
