Smuskevicius Calls Down Chauskin's Bluff

Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of A?9?3?, Natan Chauskin bet 85,000 from early position and Boris Smuskevicius called on the button.
The turn was the 8? and Chauskin bet another 225,000. Smuskevicius again called and the 7? fell on the river.
Both players then checked and Chauskin showed K?Q? for king-high. Smuskevicius turned over A?J? and took the pot with a pair of aces.
