Smirnov C-Bets Big

Level 2

No-Limit Hold'em

Mikhail Smirnov opened to 1,100 from middle position, Shawn Buchanan three-bet to 3,500 from the small blind, and Scott Seiver cold-called in the big blind. Smirnov proceeded to four-bet to 14,000, and Buchanan and Seiver both called.

The flop fell {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and the action checked to Smirnov who fired 50,000. Buchanan and Seiver both folded, and Smirnov took down the pot.
