Big O

Vladimir Shchemelev limped on the button and Howard Smith checked his option.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Smith checked. Shchemelev bet 50,000, Smith check-raised pot to 230,000, and Shchemelev called.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Smith bet the pot of 500,000. Shchemelev raised, Smith called all in for roughly 700,000 and the hands were tabled.

Shchemelev: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Smith: {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Smith had a set of fives with a rough low, while Shchemelev had a lock on the low and was freerolling to a flush.

The river was the {9-Spades}, giving Shchemelev the flush to scoop the pot and eliminate Smith in second place.
