Sammer Chips Up With Top Pair, Martirosian Sits Down
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Harald Sammer raised to 1,600 in early position. His neighbor Ruslan Zainullin threw in a three-bet to 4,200, which Sammer called once it had folded around to him.
Sammer check-called a bet of 3,500 from Zainullin on the 4?A?K? flop before both checked the 4? turn.
Sammer took the initiative on the 8? river, betting 4,500. Zainullin called quickly but mucked his cards when Sammer tabled A?10? for two pair, aces and fours.
At another table, Artur Martirosian sat down for his first bullet in the Main Event.
