Martirosian Rivers Trips to Eliminate Kihara on the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Naoya Kihara opened to 210,000 from the hijack and Artur Martirosian in the big blind called.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠Q♦9♣ and Kihara's 200,000-chip stack was called by Martirosian.
Naoya Kihara: K♦Q♠J♠8♥
Artur Martirosian: A♦J♥9♠2♥
Kihara flopped two pair and was on his way to double up with the 7♥ turn, but the 9♦ river gave trips to Martirosian so Kihara was eliminated on the bubble.
