Martirosian Floors Katz

Calum Grant

Nível 30 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Despite taking the lead moments ago, Cary Katz was one again trailing Artur Martirosian

In a match reminiscent of Rocky IV's Apollo Creed vs Ivan Drago, the Russian delivered a killer blow to Katz's bracelet pursuit.

In a three-bet pot to the 2♠10♦4♠ flop, Katz bet 67,000 from the big blind and called off the 300,000 more he had behind when Martirosian jammed.

Cary Katz: K♠K♦ All in
Artur Martirosian: 8♠7♠

The turn was the 5♥ keeping Katz ahead, but the 10♠ river completed Martirosian's flush draw to book his place in the Quarter Finals.

Martirosian will face Patrick Kennedy in the next round.
