Mamikonyan Flops a Set to Double Through Khalatiani
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Davit Khalatiani opened to 65,000 and got called by Paruyr Mamikonyan in the cutoff. Both Armenak Abgaryan and Ruben Hovsepyan also called from the blinds.
On the A♠5♥7♠ flop, it checked to Mamikonyan, who fired 115,000. Abgaryan and Hovsepyan folded, then Khalatiani shoved. Mamikonyan snap-called for his stack of 450,000.
Paruyr Mamikonyan: 5♦5♣ 
Davit Khalatiani: Q♠8♠
Mamikonyan was in the lead but needed to fade the spades in order to double up. Khalatiani picked up more outs on the 9♣ turn as he picked up a gutshot, but he couldn't find any help on the 7♦ river as Mamikonyan improved to a full house.
