Martirosian Calls For a Chop
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 5,500 under the gun and was called by Joao Vieira in the hijack, as well as big blind Juan Pardo.
The flop came 7♦9♣Q♠ and Martirosian bet 5,000. Vieira folded, but Pardo came back with a raise to 19,000. Martirosian called and the J♦ fell on the turn.
Both players checked to the 10♠ river, where Pardo fired out 31,000. Martirosian called and Pardo showed 10♣8♦ for a turned straight. Martirosian, though, had Q♥8♥ and made the same straight on the river to chop the pot.
