Pateychuk Asks For it All
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dawid Smolka raised to 3,500 from the small blind, and Andrey Pateychuk called from the big blind.
Smolka fired a continuation-bet of 2,000 on the 6♥A♠9♠ flop, which Pateychuk called.
Smolka slowed down with a check on the 5♥ turn, allowing Pateychuk to bet 8,000. Smolka stuck around with a call.
With 32,000 remaining in his stack, Smolka checked for a final time when the 4♣ completed the board. Pateychuk bet enough to put Smolka all in, and after giving it some thought, Smolka elected to return his cards to the dealer.
