Khachatryan Applies Pressure on Parssinen
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Aaron Mermelstein raised to 1,000,000, just two chips off the full pot, and claimed the blinds as well as the big blind ante.
Levon Khachatryan then raised to 850,000 from late position and was called only by Eelis Parssinen in the big blind. They checked to the 10♣9♥7♠K♦9♦ river, on which Parssinen bet 1,125,000. Khachatryan grabbed his large T-500,000 chips for a pot-sized raise and Parssinen snap-folded.
