Martirosian Doubles Through Kulev
Level 23
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Alex Kulev raised to 1,600,000 from early position with 6?6? and Artur Martirosian called from the big blind with A?J?.
Martirosian check-folded to a 1,100,000 bet of Kulev on a flop of 7?Q?2?.
A couple of hands later, Kulev would be involved in another pot with Martirosian. This time it was the biggest pot of the day so far and for Martirosian's tournament life.
Martirosian moved all in on the button for 19,000,000 and Kulev reshoved all in from the small blind.
Artur Martirosian: A?5?
Alex Kulev: 9?9?
Kulev had the lead going into the flop with Martirosian needing to improve, which he did on the A?2?K? flop.
Martirosian would stay in the lead on the 5? turn and the 7? turn, moving him into second in chips.
