Smolka Checks Back Two Pair on Dicey Board
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
There were already around 90,000 chips in the pot on a 10♠7♣3♥5♣6♣ board when Antoine Vranken checked from the big blind over to Dawid Smolka. After a few seconds, Smolka elected to check back.
Vranken confidently showed Q♥Q♠, but Smolka flipped 6♠5♠ for a backdoored two pair to scoop the pot with just a few minutes to spare in the day.
