and claimed the blinds as well as the big blind ante.
Christoph Csik then limped the small blind with the 
and Artur Martirosian checked his option with 
. Csik led the 
flop for 50,000 and Martirosian called, then took the lead with the 
turn.
The check by Csik led to a bet worth 200,000 by Martirosian and Csik came along to see the 
river complete the board. With 650,000 in the middle, Csik checked to Martirosian to then face a bet of 575,000.
Csik prepared calling chips, then spread out his time bank extensions and tossed one of them to the dealer for an additional 30 seconds to think. Another time bank followed and Csik eventually called to get shown the bad news.
