Alanaz Steals the Pot from Smolka
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dawid Smolka raised the button to 160,000 with Bassel Alanaz calling from the small blind, and Tommy G defending his big blind.
Alanaz decided to lead out for 175,000 upon seeing the dealer fan out a flop of 8♦9♣J♠. Tommy G folded, but Smolka stuck around with a call.
The 2♠ appeared on the turn, which caused Alanaz to slow down and check. Smolka bet 300,000, and was met by a check-raise to 900,000 by Alanaz. Smolka returned his cards to the dealer, and Alanaz pulled in the pot.
