Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kenneth Smaron
Kenneth Smaron

Jeremy Cate opened to 15,000 preflop and got two callers, one of which being Kenneth Smaron. The flop came down {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} action checked to Cate who bet 45,000.

Smaron check-called the bet and the two were heads-up to the turn which came the {3-Hearts}. Smaron led for 73,000 and Cate then moved all in for around 450,000. Smaron thought for a moment then made the call and the two rolled over their hands.

Cate showed {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} for a pair of kings and Smaron showed {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a turned flush. Cate was drawing dead to the {9-Clubs} on the river and Smaron became the first player to hit the one million mark in chips.
