Martirosian Makes Straight on River, Doubles Up Again
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action folded to Ben Heath in the small blind, who was looking down at 8♦5♣. He pushed his chips in the middle. Artur Martirosian called in the big blind with Q♠3♣ for his last 300,000 chips.
The flop ran out 8♥A♥4♣ to give Heath a pair of eights. The turn was the 2♥ to give Martirosian a straight draw along with his overcard.
By this point, Martirosian had stood up and was getting ready to leave. The river was the 5♥ to complete Martirosian's straight and he sat back down having doubled up to around six big blinds.
