Martirosian Gets Some Chips Back
Three ways limped to the A♠9♣2♠ flop, the action checked to Philip Sternheimer and he bet 300,000 from under the gun. Yosuke Miki folded in the small blind, while Daniel Negreanu in the big blind called. The 8♠ turn and Q♠ river were checked for Negreanu to win the pot holding the A♣K♣10♠8♣.
Both tangled again soon after when a limped pot led to the Q♦Q♣8♣ flop, with both players checking. They invested 300,000 each on the 2♥ turn, and Negreanu bet the 2♣ river for 600,000. Sternheimer called to get shown the Q♠J♥10♥4♣ and won the pot with the K♣Q♥7♥5♦.
What followed was a five-way limped family pot with everyone heading to the 10♦7♠4♠ flop. It checked all the way to Negreanu on the button, who bet 800,000. Only Martirosian called in the hijack, and they checked down the 9♥ turn as well as the Q♣ river.
Martirosian showed his K♦Q♠9♠8♥ for queens and nines, much to the demise of Negreanu, who sighed vividly. "I had tens and sevens with spades," he said before mucking the cards.
