Smuskevicius Soars to Seven Figures
Level 5
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Big blind Boris Smuskevicius put a tiny bet of 10,000 into the pot of 125,000 on a completed board of 2♣5♥2♦8♥6♠. Rehman Kassam then raised to 135,000, after which Smuskevicius instantly piled in a three-bet to 310,000.
"I only have this left, what should I do with just a six?" Kassam asked as he held up about 10,000 in chips.
"Fold," Smuskevicius stated.
"I think you deserve it anyway," Kassam said as he tossed his last chips into the middle.
Smuskevicius showed down 9♠7♣ for a straight, besting the 6♥4♠ of Kassam and sending him to the rail.
