Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Mikhail Smirnov completed with a {7-} , and Gerard Rechnitzer came along with a {5-} and a short stack.

Smirnov: (X)(X) / {7-} {3-} {k-} {9-} / (X)
Rechnitzer: (X)(X) / {5-} {3-} {J-} {10-} / (X)

Both players checked fourth street, and Rechnitzer bet his lead on fifth. Smirnov called, and Rechnitzer let him bet on sixth before check-calling himself. On seventh, it went check-check again.

Rechnitzer showed {q-} {7-} {6-} / {5-} {3-} {J-} {10-} for the ten-low, but it was no good. Smirnov made sure, then tabled {8-} {2-} {a-} / {7-} {3-} {k-} {9-} for the eighty-seven perfect. It was good for the pot, and it's not good at all for Rechnitzer, down now to just 39,000 chips.
