Kirill Rabtsov raised to 1,100 after one limper. Alan Smurfit called from the big blind and the limper called as well. The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} and Smurfit checked first. The preflop limped checked as well and then Rabtsov fired a bet of 1,500. Smurfit stuck in a raise to 4,500 and only Rabtsov made the call.

The turn brought the {8-Spades}, possibly completing a few straight draws. Smurfit fired out 10,000, which drew a fold from Rabtsov.

Smurfit won his first-ever bracelet in his first-ever WSOP event back in 2007, the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event. He now has 40,000 chips. Rabtsov dropped to 12,250.
