Smuskevicius Plays Back at the Chip Leader, Shows He Had It

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Boris Smuskevicius and Kubanychbek Abakirov built a pot of around 80,000 by the turn on a board of {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Abakirov, in the hijack, bet 50,000.

Smuskevicius then raised to 125,000 in middle position and Abakirov tanked for about a minute before he slid his cards into the middle. Smuskevicius showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the turned full house as he took a small bite out of Abakirov's massive stack.
