Russian high stakes crack Artur Martirosian ships Sunday 500 High Rollers for $135,486.48

Due to the high buy-in of $5,250, this tournament has an extremely tough field, which also reflects in the final table lineup with Isaac Haxton, Patrick “pads1161” Leonard, Ivan Zufic, David Coleman and Seth Davies.
The latter made it to heads-up, but had to admit defeat to Martirosian after a great battle. Davies’ Runner-Up finish was sweetened with a nice six-figure score though.
