Smuskevicius Back-Jams to Double Up
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Shalev Halfa raised to 25,000 under the gun, and Boris Smuskevicius flat-called as next to act. Amir Sonsino then three-bet to 130,000 from the hijack, folding out Halfa.
However, Smuskevicius four-bet all in for 416,000, and Sonsino swiftly called with the covering stack.
Boris Smuskevicius: K♠K♣
Amir Sonsino: A♣K♦
Smuskevicius' trap had worked out, and he was awarded with a double-up when the 9♣2♥J♦8♥7♠ runout remained devoid of aces.
