Smirnov Loses Flip to be Eliminated
Level 5
: 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante
Aleksandr Davydov opened the action with a raise from under the gun and Anton Smirnov three-bet to 225,000. Smirnov only had around 50,000 behind him and Garik Mesropyan in the next seat four-bet to 550,000. The rest of the table folded, as did Davydov, and Smirnov made the call.
Garik Mesropyan: 
Anton Smirnov: 
Board: 
It was a safe flop for Smirnov, but the turn brought the king of spades which gave Mesropyan the lead, and the former held on the river to record another elimination.
