Martirosian Chips Up Without Showdown
Artur Martirosian raised it up on the button to 1,100,000 and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind. They checked the 9♠7♠6♠ flop and J♦ turn to the 10♣ river. Negreanu checked, Martirosian bet 1,200,000 and won the pot.
Chris Frank then limped the small blind and Martirosian checked to the A♥10♥7♠ flop, which both players checked. Frank bet the J♥ turn for 400,000 to pick up a call and checked the 2♦ on the river. Martirosian bet 2,000,000 and Frank was visibly pained, leaning back and tossing one time bank to the dealer before he reluctantly folded.
"You used time bank? What happened?" Martirosian said with a grin on the face.
After the hand, Negreanu asked Martirosian if he already had a WSOP gold bracelet in PLO.
"I have three Triton PLO titles and one at Aria," Martirosian replied.
