Martirosian Shows His Nuts

Philip Sternheimer limped in from the small blind and Chris Frank checked in the big blind. The Q♣Q♦9♣ flop checked through to the 2♥ turn, Sterheimer bet 250,000 and Frank called. Sternheimer checked the 3♠ river, prompting Frank to fire out 610,000. Sternheimer made it 1,500,000 and Frank snap-folded.

On the next deal, Daniel Negreanu called from the cutoff, and Frank also limped from the small blind. Artur Martirosian checked his option in the big blind.

Frank led out for 240,000 on the 6♣6♦3♠ flop, and was called by both opponents. It checked to Negreanu on the 9♦ turn, and he bet 850,000. Only Martirosian called.

"Quads," announced Martirosian after the 2♥ river checked through to showdown.

"I had a feeling you had that," Negreanu said, as Martirosian tabled 6♠6♥5♥2♣ to take the pot.
