Shchemelev Extends Lead
Level 29
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
PLO-8
Howard Smith raised to 120,000 from the button and Vladimir Shchemelev called from the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Shchemelev check-called 200,000 from Smith. Both players checked the 
turn and 
river.
Shchemelev showed 
for a king-high straight, Smith mucked, and Shchemelev won the pot. Along with a few other pots of similar size, Shchemelev has extended his lead to about 4:1.
