Smolka With Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

After an open in early position to 600 and a three-bet to 1,600 by the hijack, Quentin Roussey in the cutoff called. Dawid Smolka in the small blind four-bet to 6,500 and Roussey was the only one to call.

Smolka continued for 3,500 on QJ10 and fired a second barrel to 6,500 on the K turn. Roussey called both times.

Smolka eventually checked the 3 river. Roussey quickly checked back but lost to Smolka's AA. "No! Push it you win the pot, he doesn't have the flush," a player told Smolka while he was taking the pot.
