Martirosian Busts Chaoui and Damages Mateos
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Mehdi Chaoui all in for 48,000 and at risk after Adrian Mateos rejammed, which did not deter Artur Martirosian from also getting his 100,000 stack into the middle.
Mehdi Chaoui: A?J? 
Artur Martirosian: 9?9?
Adrian Mateos: A?K?
Martirosian was in good shape with a pair of nines, with his opponent's holding some of each others' outs, and he had a lock on the hand after the flop came 9?5?4?, giving him top set of nines, with the Q?6? turn and river completing the runout.
