Big O
Action was picked up on a flop of K♥10♠Q♥ with early position raiser Artyom Smbatyan and button Robert Redman heads-up. Smbatyan had check-shoved 93,000 over Redman's 20,000 bet, sending him deep into the tank. Eventually, he made the call for almost all his chips, and saw the bad news.
Artyom Smbatyan: A♠J♠J♣7♣5♥
Robert Redman: A♦10♦10♣9♣6♠
Smbatyan had flopped Broadway, and Redman needed the board to pair. However, he got there in another way. The A♥ turn and J♥ river gave Redman Broadway as well, so they chopped the pot.
Smbatyan expressed his frustration over not having scooped.
