Russian superstar Artur Martirosian<\/strong> has been one of the world\u2019s most in-form players for the best part of a year, racking up final tables like there are going out of fashion. He not only reached a pair of final tables in the High Roller Club events on June 30, he took one of those events down.<\/p>\n

High Roller Club: Main Event – $200K Gtd<\/h2>\n

The $200,000 guaranteed Main Event<\/strong><\/a> drew in 40 players, each paying $5,200 for the privilege of competing against some of the best poker tournament players the game has ever seen.<\/p>\n

One of those superstars, Niklas Astedt<\/strong>, is regarded as the best online poker tournament player but he was the bubble boy in this particular event. Astedt came unstuck in sixth-place during the 60,000\/120,000\/15,000a level. He jammed from the small blind for 1,259,107 with and Martirosian called in the big blind with . A final board reading busted Asted and burst the bubble.<\/p>\n

Jans Arends<\/strong> was the first recipient of some prize money, fifth-place yielding a $12,500 score. The action folded to Martirosian in the small blind and he set Arends all-in for his last five big blinds. Arends called with and was ahead of the Russian\u2019s until a five lands on the flop of the board.<\/p>\n

Fourth-place and $20,000 went to Timothy Adams<\/strong>, who is no stranger to major final tables. Adams was the chip leader at one point four-handed but made a big misstep in a hand against Martirosian to cut him down to the short stack. Adams fell when his last 12 big blinds went into the middle from the button with and Rob Yong<\/strong> called in the big blind with . The flop improved Yong to top pair but Adams still had outs. The turn nor the river helped Adams and the players gained a little more elbow room at the final table.<\/p>\n

Rob Yong had to make do with second place this time around<\/p><\/div>\n

Heads-up was set when Joao Vieira<\/strong> busted in third place. Vieira min-raised on the button with and Martirosian called in the big blind with . A flop saw Martirosian check and Vieira check behind. Both players improved to a straight when the landed on the turn, and both now had a flush draw to go with their made hand. Martirosian bet 1,470,000 into 1,462,500 and Vieira called. Martirosian hit a flush on the river with the and he set his opponent all-in. Vieira called with his expensive second-best hand and heads-up was set.<\/p>\n

Martirosian went into heads-up with a 23,634,788 to 16,365,212 chip advantage over Dusk Till Dawn<\/strong> supremo Yong. Yong never managed to claw his way back into things and he busted in second-place during the 200,000\/400,000\/50,000a level. Martirosian limped with before calling Yong\u2019s 5,659,009 jam with . The hot-running Russian flopped a six on the board to send Yong home in second-place with $53,000 in his back pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

High Roller Club Leaderboard Top 10 (June 30, 2020)<\/h2>\n

Before Tuesday\u2019s events, Alex Foxen<\/strong> led the race for the $30,000 top prize in the High Roller Club leaderboard. His narrow lead of only 10-points ahead of Rok Gostisa<\/strong> needs protecting because Gostisa seems to play almost every event. No more days off for Mr Foxen if he wants a free $30,000!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
