Martirosian Falls in Two Hands
Artur Martirosian just busted for the second time today after losing back-to-back hands to Santhosh Suvarna and Sam Greenwood.
In the first hand, Pieter Aerts raised to 3,500 in the hijack and Suvarna three-bet to 13,000 in the cutoff. Martirosian four-bet to 35,000 in the big blind and Suvarna called.
The flop came J♠10♣6♥ and Martirosian bet 25,000. Suvarna called to see the 3♣ turn, where Martirosian bet another 50,000. Suvarna again called.
Both players checked the 2♦ river and Martirosian showed 8♠8♥. Suvarna turned over A♥10♠ for a pair of tens to take the pot.
The next hand, Viktor Kudinov raised to 4,000 in the cutoff, Sam Greenwood three-bet to 14,000 on the button, and Martirosian four-bet to 37,000 in the small blind. Kudinov folded, while Greenwood moved all in and Martirosian called for 164,000.
Artur Martirosian: A♦K♦ 
Sam Greenwood: 5♠5♣
Martirosian was racing for his tournament life, but the Q♦Q♣5♥ flop proved a disaster as Greenwood made a full house. The rest of the board ran out 6♠7♠ and Martirosian was sent to the rail again.
