Seat 3: Artur Martirosian (Russia) - 5,855,000
You��d be forgiven for thinking Artur ��Marathur1�� Martirosian was older than he is. It feels like he��s been crushing both live and online for at least a decade, and with $4.6 million in live cashes and unknown millions won online, he has a poker r��sum�� far older than his years.
At just 25, Martirosian has already reached the highest echelon of tournament poker�Csuper high roller regular status�Cand has a chock-full trophy cabinet to show for his five years of playing professionally.
You��d also be right in assuming he isn��t Mexican. Martirosian currently lives in Playa Del Carmen, but it was in his hometown of Voronezh in southwestern Russia where he first discovered poker at 16.
He��s come a long way since. In March 2021 he took down his first European Poker Tour title, on home soil no less, winning EPT Sochi for $325K. He followed that up with an impressive $100K Super High Roller Bowl victory worth $1.4 million in August 2021 and most recently, he took down a �25K High Roller at EPT Barcelona for �540,990.
And that��s just his live poker accomplishments. Online he��s won just about everything including multiple Championship of Online Poker titles. He even won two WCOOP events in one night.
The guy is a beast, plain and simple, and whatever happens, it��s going to be fun watching him battle for his second PokerStars Main Event title.
