Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Stanislav Prikhodko

Stanislav Prikhodko three-bet to 11,000 from the small blind before Dawid Smolka, under the gun, reraised to 25,000. Prikhodko called as they saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Smolka continued for 17,000 and Prikhodko called. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn.

The river came the {10-Hearts} and Prikhodko checked over to Smolka, who announced he was all in. Prikhodko snap-called for 95,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a turned set as Smolka flashed {k-}{k-} before mucking.

"Lucky turn," a tablemate told Prikhodko after the hand.

"Absolutely," he replied.
