Katz Wins One, Loses One vs. Martirosyan
Two premium preflop hands for Cary Katz in the opening minutes: first he flat called an Artur Martirosyan open (to 80,000) with pocket queens in the big blind, check-calling the 60,000 his opponent bet on the [Ks4h5s] flop, then taking the pot down with a 50,000 lead on the [5h] turn.
Then he flatted his button with [AsKs] when it folded to him, seeing a heads up flop with the same opponent when he checked his big blind (with [9d8s]). Martirosyan flopped a pair: [Qs3h9h]. He check-called a bet of 60,000 from Katz and both players then checked the [7d] turn. On the [2s] river, Martirosyan led out for 50,000 and Katz made the call with his ace-high.
