Smith's Aggression Leaves Parnat Short
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Smith opened to 14,000 from the cutoff. His only caller was Risto Parnat in the big blind and we went heads up to a flop.
It came 10♦4♥3♣, to which Parnat checked. Smith led out for 15,000, before Parnat raised to 45,000 and was called.
Parnat slowed down on the turn as the 7♦ landed. After a minute of thinking, Smith bet out 75,000, sending Parnat into the tank. The Estonian eventually laid his hand down, leaving him with just five big blinds left.
