Smolka Gets Some Back From Prikhodko

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dawid Smolka
Dawid Smolka

Dawid Smolka, who had his kings racked by Stanislav Prikhodko earlier in the day, just got some measure of revenge by taking down a sizeable pot from his table nemesis.

Heads-up on a flop of {j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, Prikhodko bet 15,000 from the small blind and Smolka, from under the call called. The turn came the {3-Diamonds} and Smolka again called a bet, this time for 20,000.

Prikhodko slowed down and checked the {j-Diamonds} river and Smolka checked behind. Prikhodko opened up {2-}{2-} and quickly mucked them as Smolka took down the pot with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.
