Aido Holds Off Until the River
Level 2
: 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Sergio Aido raised to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Rainer Kempe on the button along with Dan Smith in the big blind. The flop came 
and the action was checked to the 
on the turn.
All three players checked again and the 
landed on the river. Smith checked one more time but Aido finally fired 8,000 into the pot. Kempe and Smith quickly pushed their cards away and Aido scooped the pot.
Dan Smith has lost half of his 200,000 starting chips in the first level and Fedor Holz has been stacking chips over on Table 2.
