Mamikonyan Flops a Set to Double Through Khalatiani
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Davit Khalatiani opened to 65,000 and got called by Paruyr Mamikonyan in the cutoff. Both Armenak Abgaryan and Ruben Hovsepyan also called from the blinds.
On the A?5?7? flop, it checked to Mamikonyan, who fired 115,000. Abgaryan and Hovsepyan folded, then Khalatiani shoved. Mamikonyan snap-called for his stack of 450,000.
Paruyr Mamikonyan: 5?5? 
Davit Khalatiani: Q?8?
Mamikonyan was in the lead but needed to fade the spades in order to double up. Khalatiani picked up more outs on the 9? turn as he picked up a gutshot, but he couldn't find any help on the 7? river as Mamikonyan improved to a full house.
