Martirosian Picks Off Over-Bet Bluff
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Teun Mulder, Aleksejs Ponakovs and Artur Martirosian were three-way on a board that read K♥2♣10♣K♦. With 8,5000 in the middle, Mulder checked from the small blind before Ponakovs made a bet of 6,000 chips from the big blind. Martirosian made the call from the cutoff and Mulder folded.
The 2♦ river then fell and Ponakovs put out a single T-25,000 chip for a bet worth more than the pot. Martirosian put in a calling chip just before his shot clock ran out and Ponakovs sighed before reluctantly showing 7♣5♠, playing the board. Meanwhile, Martirosian showed J♣10♠ for a higher two pair and raked in the sizable pot.
