Smolka Building While Kolotiuk Descends
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With two players seeing a baord of J♠2♣4♦3♦ and around 400,000 in the middle Roman Kolotiuk bet 150,000 from the small blind and was called by Dawid Smolka on the button.
Both players then checked the 8♠ river. Smolka had one pair with 7♦7♠ which was enough to take the pot, leaving Kolitiuk with just under five big blinds.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Fadhil Farag and Joris Ruijs were both recently eliminated.
