Martirosian Doubles Up for the Chip Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
In a limped pot to the J?7?2? flop, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau Q?4? check-raised to 420,000 from the big blind over Artur Martirosian's 8?5? bet of 120,000. The latter snap-folded.
Vaskaboinikau limped in before Martirosian made it 720,000. As the bigger stack, Vaskaboinikau jammed, and Martirosian called for his tournament life.
Artur Martirosian: A?J?
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: J?10?
Martirosian's ace remained best following the 6?5?4?8?2? runout and he took the chip lead.
