Smith Reduces the Field by One
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mark Smith opened to 24,000 from early position and Maksim Shornikau moved all in for approximately 145,000. Smith snap-called to put Shornikau at risk.
Maksim Shornikau: K♣Q♠
Mark Smith: K♠8♥
Shornikau was in a great position to double up and remained ahead on the A♣J♦5♠ flop and 7♦ turn. Smith drilled a pair on the 8♦ river to send Shornikau to the rail and take the pot.
