Smidinger Gets the Best of Lopes Again
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A player in late position opened for 1,000 and was called by the hijack, cutoff, Gustavo Lopes in the small blind, and Eric Smidinger in the big blind.
The flop came 
and it checked around.
On the 
turn, Lopes bet 1,800. Smidinger raised to 4,200 and it folded around back to Lopes, who called.
On the 
river, Lopes fired a small bet of 1,000. Smidinger put in three red chips, more than covering Lopes' stack.
Lopes, who only had 5,600 behind, showed Smidinger his 
and folded.
