Smolka Pulling Away

Ryan Lashmar

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Dawid Smolka opened to 1,250,000 from the button and Daniele Grasso defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of 10♥6♠8♣J♥J♣. Grasso checked, Smolka bet 2,000,000 and Grasso called.

Smolka turned over two pair with 9♥8♠ which was enough to take the pot and extend his lead over Grasso.
