Smidinger Makes Massive River Call, Catches Sarnoff Bluffing
Level 41
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Ben Sarnoff opened to 4,500,000 and Eric Smidinger called.
Both players checked the 
flop. The 
turn brought a 5,500,000 bet from Sarnoff and Smidinger called.
On the 
river, Sarnoff put out a huge bet of 12,500,000. Smidinger let out a huge exhale, thought for about 45 seconds, and made the call.
Sarnoff looked meekly at his cards before tossing them into the muck face down, allowing Smidinger's rail to let out a huge roar as he took a six-to-one chip lead.
Sarnoff is now left with around 11 big blinds.
