Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Dawid Smolka made it 1,400,000 to go from the small blind and Dmitry Kataev shoved for 8,500,000 from the big blind. Smolka snap-called.

Dmitry Kataev: K♣2♠ All in
Dawid Smolka: K♦K♥

Kataev had gotten himself in the worst possible spot preflop with king-deuce versus the Cowboys of Smolka.

There was no sweat for Smolka on the 6♣J♠8♣9♠7♥ runout, and the start of Day 3 chip leader was out in 15th place.
