Hrabec Gets Paid by Martirosian; Chaoui Finds an Ace to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 40,000 under the gun and Roman Hrabec called in the big blind.
Martirosian continued for 70,000 on the J♣10♠5♦ flop and Hrabec called. Both players checked the 8♣ turn.
The river was the 5♠ and Hrabec led out for 85,000. Martirosian called and Hrabec showed Q♦J♥ for top pair to win the pot.
A few hands later, Mehdi Chaoui moved all in for 231,000 in the cutoff and Hrabec called on the button.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠J♠ 
Roman Hrabec: J♣J♥
Chaoui spiked an ace on the A♥8♦7♥ flop, while the rest of the board ran out Q♣Q♠ and he doubled up.
"The only way I can win a hand against him," Chaoui said.
