Smolka Gets Important Double
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Aleksandr Kirichenko on the button who moved all in having the blinds covered. Dawid Smolka was in the big blind and called off for his tournament life.
The cards hit their backs.
Dawid Smolka: K♦J♣
Aleksandr Kirichenko: 6♥6♠
The A♣A♠7♥ flop landed and Smolka was still behind. The 9♠ turn left him drawing slim but the 7♦ river double paired the board making Smolka's king-high the best hand and earning him the pure double.
