Patrick Kennedy limped on the button and Artur Martirosian checked his option.
Martirosian then proceeded to check-call bets from Kennedy on every street. First for 10,000 on the 8♥J♠10♣ flop, then for 40,000 on the 4♥ turn, and finally for his remaining stack for a bit over 100,000 on the 8♠ river.
Kennedy could only show 9♥5♦ for a whiffed straight draw and Martirosian turned over J♦10♠ for two pair to earn his spot in the semifinals tomorrow.

After just waxing lyrical about Owen Messere, the old curse of the commentator struck as Faraz Jaka reduced the Brit to fumes in a massive pot.
Action was caught on the river, with around 720,000 in the pot on the 5♠7♣3♠J♦5♣ board. Messere, the bigger stack, jammed. Jaka, who had 736,000 behind, quickly counted his chips and wasted little time in calling.
Messere audibly exhaled as he tabled 4♠2♠, which missed its huge combo draw. Jaka tabled K♦7♥ to take in the likely match-deciding pot.

Faraz Jaka and Owen Messere are all square in the early goings of their heads-up duel, with each player trading pots.
Recently, Jaka took in a 160,000 pot after his turn bet of 80,000 on the 5♣5♠9♣6♣ board folded out Messere, the following hand, Jaka raised to 20,000 from the button before folding to Messere's 88,000 three-bet.
Many poker fans will be familiar with Jaka, a notable name in the poker world but many would be forgiven if they hadn't heard of Messere before, so here's some info about the upcoming star.
A poker player known for his expertise in heads-up cash games, Messere was originally a young chess prodigy competing internationally. He transitioned to poker, where he quickly climbed from micro stakes to high-stakes games, playing up to $5,000 No-Limit Heads-Up (5KNL HU). His screen name, "pr0digy," reflects his swift rise in the poker world.
One memorable moment in Messere's career was during a heads-up match against poker star Doug Polk at The Lodge. In a hand where Owen mistakenly thought he had a flush, Polk kindly returned his share of the pot.
