Tekyildiz Fails to Crack Smolka's Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With nearly 30,000 in the pot on a flop of 10♦J♠K♣, Saro Tekyildiz bet 7,000 from under the gun and Dawid Smolka called in the cutoff, while Milos Petakovic folded in early position.
Tekyildiz checked the 2♦ turn and Smolka bet 100,000, enough to put Tekyildiz all in. Tekyildiz called for his last 50,000 and turned over Q♥J♥ for a pair and straight draw, while Smolka had A♠A♥.
Tekyildiz failed to connect with the 3♠ river and was sent to the rail while Smolka took the big pot.
