Top Pair Takes It for Smrek
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action went five-ways to a flop of K♦6♦J♠ with a little over 12,500 in the middle. It checked over to August Smrek in middle position who bet 4,500 and only Jung Son in the cutoff called.
The 7♣ turn went check-check, bringing the 4♠ river where Smrek bet 9,000. Son made the call and mucked his cards when Smrek tabled K♥Q♦ for a pair of kings.
