Sturm Rivers Ace to Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Artur Martirosian shoved all in from the small blind into Leon Sturm, who called in the big blind for 73,000. Players turned over their cards.
Leon Sturm: A?8?
Artur Martirosian: K?5?
The board ran out J?K?8?7?A?. Martirosian paired his king on the flop and Sturm picked up a flush draw. "Sweaty," said an observer. The river brought Sturm an ace to give him the pot and a much needed double up.
