Samual gets Three Streets of Value

Level 55 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

After Darius Samual called on the button, Artur Martirosian checked his option.

The flop came 9A4, Martirosian checked, and Samual bet out 50,000, which Martirosian called.

On the turn was the 10, Martirosian once again checked, and Samual fired out 150,000, which was again called.

The river brought the K to complete the board, after Martirosian checked once more, Samual went for another street of value, this time betting out 315,000.

Martirosian wasted no time in making the call but was shown the bad news when Samual tabled A6 for top pair. Martirosian tossed his hand in the muck, and the 1,030,000-chip pot went to Samual, that has given him the lead.
