Cha Doubles Through Smith
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tyler Smith raised to 100,000 and then folded when Kilian Loeffler three-bet the pot from two seats over.
Smith then raised to 100,000 again and PJ Cha three-bet to the same 360,000 with 100,000 behind. This time, Smith called and bet the K♥10♠9♦ flop for 100,000, Cha called all-in.
PJ Cha: A♦K♠Q♦J♠
Tyler Smith: A♠6♥4♥2♠
Smith had two back door flush draws but the J♦ turn and 8♠ river were no sweat.
Cha doubled while Joao Vieira lost the remainder of his short stack one table over to reduce the field to the last 39 contenders.
