Martirosian Gets Kabrhel Off a Chop
Level 21
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Dan Smith raised to 4,000,000 with 3?3? second to act, which prompted everyone else to fold.
Martin Kabrhel then opened to 1,000,000 with A?J? from the button and Artur Martirosian defended his big blind with Q?9?.
Both players had a bit of the J?10?3? flop, with Kabrhel having top pair while Martirosian had an open-ended straight draw.
Action checked through to the A? turn which improved Kabrhel to aces and jacks. Martirosian led out for 1,000,000 and Kabrhel called.
The 2? river put a flush on the board and Martirosian sized up to 2,400,000 to get Kabrhel off the chop.
The bet worked and Kabrhel folded.
