Martirosian Triples Up
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sean Winter opened to 5,000 from the hijack, and Artur Martirosian three-bet to 14,000 from the button. A player in the small blind four-bet to 48,000 and Winter called. Martirosian then shoved for 55,000, and Winter and the player in the small blind made the call.
The flop came 2?8?6?. The small blind moved all in, and Winter, who was covered, made the call to put himself at risk.
Artur Martirosian: Q?J?J?9? 
Sean Winter: K?8?6?5?
Small Blind: A?A?8?4?
Winter was ahead with top two pair and remained so on the 5? turn. The J? river improved Martirosian to top set and he tripled up while Winter took the side pot.
