Martirosian Cracks Aces to Take Early Lead
Level 25
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
On a board of Q♥4♥2♣9♣7♥, Artur Martirosian and Cary Katz were involved in a sizable pot, with over 200,000 in the middle.
The third heart on the river slowed down the action, which went check-check.
Martirosian's two-pair, queens and deuces, Q♠2♠ bested Katz's A♦A♣ to take the lead in the first level of play.
