Khadartsev Dead on the Turn Against Smolka
Level 21
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Dawid Smolka opened from early position to 400,000 and Ruslan Khadartsev defended from the big blind.
The flop came 8♦6♦7♠ and Khadartsev led out for 350,000. Smolka then raised to 1,100,000 and Khadartsev called.
A 9♦ hit the turn and Khadartsev led out again, this time for 3,000,000. Smolka had 3,400,000 behind and moved all of his chips in the middle, then Khadartsev called off the extra.
Dawid Smolka: K♦10♦ 
Ruslan Khadartsev: 5♦5♣
Khadartsev was drawing dead as not even making a straight flush would be good enough to win this pot. A meaningless 2♣ dropped on the river and suddenly, Smolka has chips!
