Sammer Chips Up With Top Pair, Martirosian Sits Down
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Harald Sammer raised to 1,600 in early position. His neighbor Ruslan Zainullin threw in a three-bet to 4,200, which Sammer called once it had folded around to him.
Sammer check-called a bet of 3,500 from Zainullin on the 4♠A♦K♣ flop before both checked the 4♣ turn.
Sammer took the initiative on the 8♦ river, betting 4,500. Zainullin called quickly but mucked his cards when Sammer tabled A♥10♥ for two pair, aces and fours.
At another table, Artur Martirosian sat down for his first bullet in the Main Event.
