Martirosian Calls For a Chop
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 5,500 under the gun and was called by Joao Vieira in the hijack, as well as big blind Juan Pardo.
The flop came 7?9?Q? and Martirosian bet 5,000. Vieira folded, but Pardo came back with a raise to 19,000. Martirosian called and the J? fell on the turn.
Both players checked to the 10? river, where Pardo fired out 31,000. Martirosian called and Pardo showed 10?8? for a turned straight. Martirosian, though, had Q?8? and made the same straight on the river to chop the pot.
