David Martirosyan has started the final table in good form and has added another sizeable pot to his stack.
Martirosyan opened to 20,000 from late position and the only caller was Kazu Oshima on the button. Martirosyan checked on the 
flop and Oshima checked behind.
On the 
turn, Martirosyan led for 32,000 and Oshima wasted little time in calling. The 
river was met with a bet of 47,000 from Martirosyan and this was enough to get Oshima to fold.

Bui checked to his now sole opponent on the arrival of the 
river and, again after a long pause, Martirosyan fired a bet, this time one weighing in at 130,000. Bui had seen enough and folded, leaving Martirosyan to win the pot.
