Stelmak Plays it Slick

A player in early position opened to 1,800, and Dmitry Stelmak made a reraise to 4,100 in the next seat over. John Duthie called from the big blind, and the third player called the remainder to go three-handed to the flop.

It came {A-Clubs}

, and the action checked around. The {7-Clubs}

on the turn drew two more checks to Stelmak, and he slid out a delayed continuation bet of 8,500. Duthie called quickly while the third man ducked out, and it was heads up to the {J-Spades}

river. Duthie checked again, and Stelmak took just a minute to think. He looked like he wanted to bet, but he eventually just smirked and checked behind.

Duthie tabled {K-Diamonds}

, and Stelmak flipped over the winning {A-Hearts}

to take the pot and move his way up to about 75,000.
