Smolka's Stack Swells as Litvinov Hits the Rail
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Dawid Smolka has had a great start to Day 4, and has grown his stack to around 6,600,000 after just eliminating Andrey Litvinov.
Smolka opened the cutoff to 100,000 and Litvinov defended his big blind to the 8♥9♠9♥ flop. Litvinov checked, Smolka bet 50,000, Litvinov shoved 400,000, and Smolka called.
Andrey Litvinov: 8♦6♣
Dawid Smolka: A♦A♣
Litvinov had flopped a pair of eights, but was way behind the bullets of Smolka. A 6♠ on the turn did give Litvinov a few more outs, but the 3♥ river bricked out, and he was eliminated.
