Hrabec Gets Paid by Martirosian; Chaoui Finds an Ace to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 40,000 under the gun and Roman Hrabec called in the big blind.
Martirosian continued for 70,000 on the J?10?5? flop and Hrabec called. Both players checked the 8? turn.
The river was the 5? and Hrabec led out for 85,000. Martirosian called and Hrabec showed Q?J? for top pair to win the pot.
A few hands later, Mehdi Chaoui moved all in for 231,000 in the cutoff and Hrabec called on the button.
Mehdi Chaoui: A?J? 
Roman Hrabec: J?J?
Chaoui spiked an ace on the A?8?7? flop, while the rest of the board ran out Q?Q? and he doubled up.
"The only way I can win a hand against him," Chaoui said.
