Frank Battles With Martirosian and Sternheimer
Artur Martirosian raised to 320,000 and was called by Chris Frank in the big blind. Frank check-called a bet of 275,000 on the 7♦4♥3♥ flop before the A♠ came on the turn. Frank check-called another 600,000 and they then checked the J♣ on the river.
"Ace jack," Frank declared and his A♣K♠J♥8♥ won the pot.
Philip Sternheimer then limped the button, Frank did so from the small blind and Sean Winter checked the big blind. The Q♠8♣3♠ flop was checked to Sternheimer who bet 250,000, only Frank called. Frank bet the 9♥ turn for 325,000 to pick up a call and then bet the full pot for 1,630,000 on the K♣ river. Sternheimer used two time banks and folded.
The next three-way limped pot to the Q♣8♥2♣ flop was checked to Sternheimer who bet 175,000. Frank raised to 600,000 and Sternheimer used two time banks before he potted to force a snap-fold from his fellow German-speaking table neighbour.
