Smolka Puts in the Four-Bet
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dawid Smolka opened to 9,000 for the fourth hand in a row as the table big stack. A player in middle position called and then the action moved all the way to the big blind who wasted no time before three-betting all in for about 40,000. The action was back on Smolka who did some inventory and then four-bet all in over the top.
This did the trick as the middle position player got out of the way and the cards hit their backs.
Big Blind: K♣Q♦
Dawid Smolka: A♥J♦
The full board ran out K♥3♥A♦2♥10♠ and Smolka sent his opponent to the rail with the help of a big protection bet.
