Smolka Leaves Tukmachev on Fumes
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Heads-up on a board of 5?9?9?J?, Ivan Tukmachev bet 24,000 from the hijack and Dawid Smolka called in middle position.
The river was the Q? and Tukmachev bet 65,000, leaving himself just one 5,000 chip behind. Smolka called and Tukmachev showed A?Q? for two pair.
Smolka, though, had 9?8? for trip nines to take the pot and leave Tukmachev severely short-stacked.
