Big Hands But No Action for Martirosyan

Artur Martirosyan has recently picked up [AdAh] and [JdJc] in back to back hands, unfortunately for him finding Mikita Badziakouski with nothing playable.  He picked up one preflop raise of 180,000 from his opponent, who quickly folded his [7c9h] to a three-bet of 640,000.
