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.
