Smirnov gets Cao

Rui Cao opened the action from early position to 66,000 and got no customers before a big hand played out directly afterward.

Mikita Badziakouski limped from early position, as did Mikhail Smirnov and Rui Cao with Jamie Kaplin also coming along from the button.

Badziakouski checked the flop and Smirnov decided to take a stab for 15,000, which all players called.

The turn saw Badziakouski check once more and Smirnov bomb it for 100,000. Cao decided to get the rest of his chips in and after everyone else folded out Smirnov made the call.

Mikhail Smirnov:
Rui Cao:

Smirnov got there immediately on the turn and the river bricked out for Cao meaning Smirnov climbed to close to 300,000 while Cao called for his second 100k stack of chips.
