Smuskevicius Takes Chip Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Darko Svesko bet 500,000 from the cutoff and Boris Smuskevicius defended in the big blind.
The flop came K♥8♠6♠ and Svesko bet 450,000 which was called by Smuskevicius.
The K♣ paired the board on the turn, and Svesko bet 1,400,000 and was called by the Lithuanian.
Both players checked the 10♠ river to the frustration of Smuskevicius who tabled 10♣10♥ for a boat on the river. Despite his angst he took in a massive pot and the chip lead.
