Smirnov Starts Well

With the board reading {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} the player in the hijack checked and Mikhail Smirnov bet 1,125 from the cutoff. The hijack called and they saw the river bring the {a-Spades}. The hijack checked again and this time Smirnov tossed out a bet of 3,725. Apparently that bet was a bit too rich for the hijack who folded his hand.

Smirnov was up to 32,000 after the hand.
