Pardo Decimates Martirosian
Action folded to Artur Martirosian on the button, who opened to 10,000, receiving a call from Juan Pardo in the small blind.
Stephen Chidwick was in the big blind and reached for chips before making it 42,000. Both of his opponents called.
On the 6?7?2? flop, action was checked to Martirosian, who fired out a bet of 32,000. Pardo called and Chidwick folded.
The 2? rolled off on the turn and Pardo changed approach, leading out with a bet of 20,000. After some thought, Martirosian called.
The river brought the 6? and Pardo checked to his opponent.
Martirosian took a time bank before sliding out a bet of 169,000, leaving himself a single 1,000 chip behind.
Pardo used two time banks before making the call.
Martirosian showed K?Q? to play the board for two pair with a king kicker, but Pardo had 8?8? for a higher two pair, eights and sixes.
