Smolka Busts Novak in Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrii Novak limped in from the small blind and then called a raise of 35,000 from Dawid Smolka in the big blind.
The flop came 6♦4♦J♠ and Novak went into check-call mode after Smolka bet 25,000, which brought them to the 6♠ turn. Again Novak checked, and again he called a bet when Smolka fired 180,000. .
An A♦ hit the river and after Novak checked for a third time, Smolka shoved. Novak had around 700,000 behind and put them all into the middle, which created the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Smolka flipped over a full house with 4♥4♣, and that was good as Novak's A♣J♥ was no good, ending his tournament run.
