Martirosian Triples Up
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sean Winter opened to 5,000 from the hijack, and Artur Martirosian three-bet to 14,000 from the button. A player in the small blind four-bet to 48,000 and Winter called. Martirosian then shoved for 55,000, and Winter and the player in the small blind made the call.
The flop came 2♣8♥6♦. The small blind moved all in, and Winter, who was covered, made the call to put himself at risk.
Artur Martirosian: Q♣J♣J♦9♦ 
Sean Winter: K♠8♠6♥5♥
Small Blind: A♥A♦8♣4♠
Winter was ahead with top two pair and remained so on the 5♠ turn. The J♠ river improved Martirosian to top set and he tripled up while Winter took the side pot.
