Good to be King

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

"King" Dan Smith opened to 5,500 from under the gun, Fabian Quoss called on the button, and Igor Kurganov three-bet to 23,000 out of the small blind. Only Smith called.

The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Kurganov checked, and Smith bet 22,000. Kurganov called.

Kurganov check-called another 41,000 from Smith after the {7-Spades} turned, and a repeat queen - the {q-Hearts} - completed the board. Kurganov checked a third time, Smith slid forward 150,000 (enough to put Kurganov all in), and the German-speaking, Russian-born high-stakes pro folded.
