Martirosian Wins Last Hand Before the Break
Artur Martirosian limped the button, Daniel Negreanu did so from the small blind and Chris Frank checked in the big blind. They all checked the 8♥7♣6♠ flop to the 7♠ turn on which Negreanu checked and Frank bet 400,000. Martirosian called and Negreanu then raised to 1,200,000 in order to force out Frank while Martirosian came along.
The J♠ fell on the river and Negreanu announced a bet of 2,000,000. Martirosian then raised to 7,500,000 and Negreanu used one of his many time banks while studying his cards up high. Eventually, he folded and the trio talked about the hand.
Negreanu mentioned he had a seven and nines along with the nut flush on the river.
"I had the entire board," Martirosian mentioned and claimed to have 8x8x7x6x for eights full.
After the hand, the players went on a scheduled 15-minute break.
