Russian superstar Artur Martirosian excelled on Day 2 of the WPT World Online Championships Main Event. Martirosian multiplied his stack ten-fold, going from a shade under 3 million chips to a tournament-leading 30,030,334.
The Russian’s stack is huge, so huge in fact that it contains 11,202,746 more chips than anyone else in the final 24. Victory is far from a done deal, but Martirosian must fancy his chances of getting his hands on the title of champion and the gargantuan $1,715,667 top prize that comes with such an accolade.
