Martirosian Floors Katz
Level 30
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Despite taking the lead moments ago, Cary Katz was one again trailing Artur Martirosian
In a match reminiscent of Rocky IV's Apollo Creed vs Ivan Drago, the Russian delivered a killer blow to Katz's bracelet pursuit.
In a three-bet pot to the 2♠10♦4♠ flop, Katz bet 67,000 from the big blind and called off the 300,000 more he had behind when Martirosian jammed.
Cary Katz: K♠K♦
Artur Martirosian: 8♠7♠
The turn was the 5♥ keeping Katz ahead, but the 10♠ river completed Martirosian's flush draw to book his place in the Quarter Finals.
Martirosian will face Patrick Kennedy in the next round.
