Who Wants to be the Chip Leader?
Artur Martirosian raised the pot to 700,000 and won the blinds. Yosuke Miki then opened to the same 700,000 from under the gun for Martirosian to defend the big blind. He check-called for 300,000 on the 9♦8♦4♦ flop. They then checked down the 4♠ turn and 7♣ river.
"Jacks," Martirosian announced but Miki had the best hand with the A♠A♣7♦6♥.
One hand later, Daniel Negreanu made it 500,000 to go from under the gun. Chris Frank called on the button and Martirosian potted to 2,200,000 in the small blind. Negreanu gave it some consideration and folded, and Frank snap-folded behind.
"Fuck, if I knew you fold, I would have called," Negreanu exclaimed.
"I should have just folded out of turn," Frank joked back.
The top three on the leaderboard are currently separated by only two big blinds.
