Smolyanskiy Makes Hero Call
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Tim Faro raised from early position to 20,000, and when it folded to the big blind Anton Smolyanskiy, he made the call.
Both players checked after the 9?9?8? flop.
The turn came the 3? and Smolyanskiy check-called a bet of 35,000 from Faro.
After the 4? on the river, Smolyanskiy again check-called a bet from Faro, this time for 70,000.
Faro tabled QxJx for queen high, and Smolyanskiy showed A?2? for ace high, which was good to take the pot.
