Sturm Sends Three
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dan Smith opened the action raising to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Leon Sturm on the button.
On a board of 10♦8♥6♣, Smith check-called a 9,000 chip bet from Sturm.
The 3♦ turn card was followed by Smith check-calling once again, this time for 65,000.
When the river came the 9♥, Smith knuckled for a third time, and Sturm fired 135,000. The third shell was enough to make Smith release his hand.
