Luo and Smirnov Chop it Up
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Limits: 400-1,400
Three players saw the flop come down 3♥3♠2♥. Anton Smirnov checked from the small blind, and Xixiang Luo bet 700 out of the big blind. Anthony Zinno also called from middle position and they went three-ways to the turn.
After Smirnov checked the 6♠ turn, Luo fired out another bet, this time for 3,500. Zinno folded, but Smirnov stuck around with a call.
Two checks followed the 4♥ river and Smirnov revealed 8♣4♣2♣2♠ for a full house with a eight-six low. Luo showed A♠Q♦J♦4♦ for an inferior high but a better low, meaning they chopped the pot.
