Ortega Sends Smajd Home on the River
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Players were still stalling on the pay jump. Jacques Ortega three-bet to 1,850,000 after there was a 975,000 open. Anze Smajd was in the small blind and moved in the majority of his 4,500,000 stack, leaving just 750,000 behind. Action folded back around to Ortega and he moved all in. Smajd made the call.
Anze Smajd: K♥K♠
Jacques Ortega: J♥J♠
It was looking likely that Smajd would double after he held on the 6♦8♦3♠ flop, and Q♠ turn.
The tables turned, however, as the dealer placed the J♦ river, giving Ortega a set of jacks, busting Smajd.
