Smiljkovic Takes a Hit
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
A player opened to 50,000 from under the gun before a player in early position moved all in for 88,000. Daniel Smiljkovic in the cutoff thought for some time before calling only to see the small blind re-jam for 129,000. The original raiser got out of the way while Smiljkovic quickly called with the covering stack to put both of his opponents at risk.
Early Position Player: A♣6♣
Small Blind Player: J♦7♣
Daniel Smiljkovic: 8♣8♥
Smiljkovic was in a good spot to score the double knockout but was unable to do so despite improving to a set after the board ran out 9♠4♥10♣J♣8♦ to give the small blind a straight, handing them a near triple up while sending the early position player out of the tournament.
