The final table broadcast featured host Jeff Gross and guest commentator Justin Young, a high-stakes veteran with over $6.8 million in live earnings.

Gross observed that Martirosian acted as a wire-to-wire leader throughout the finale. Entering the final table, Martirosian was a heavy statistical favorite with odds of 2.54, which Gross noted were potentially the lowest ever recorded for a player in this specific field.

The concluding stages of the tournament saw Martirosian face Hungarian player Tamas Adamszki in a heads-up duel.

A pivotal hand occurred when Adamszki flopped a flush with seven-six of diamonds against Martirosian’s set of fours.

After Martirosian moved all-in on the turn, Adamszki called and successfully avoided nine outs on the river to double his stack.

Despite this setback, Martirosian rebuilt a 2:1 lead. The final hand saw Adamszki move all-in for 16 big blinds with ace-six, only to be called by Martirosian’s pocket sixes.

The board offered no help to Adamszki, who earned $375,386 for his second-place finish. Commenting on the technical level of play, Justin Young described the experience as a joy to watch, highlighting the high-class decision making on display.
