Kovalski Leaves "SmilleThHero" Short

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

A min-raise by Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski was then three-bet to 66,000 by "SmilleThHero" and the Brazilian came along to see the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop. Kovalski opted to check and then called a bet of 39,375 by "SmilleThHero".

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn went check, check, and Kovalski bet for 180,000 on the {10-Hearts} river, which had "SmilleThHero" covered and forced a reluctant fold.

On the {6-Clubs} river, "efkinis24" moved all in and forced a fold from his sole remaining opponent.
