Smirnov on Fire; Grundy on Tilt
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ben Grundy raised to 25,000 in the hijack and Taylor Wilson called in the cutoff. Anton Smirnov potted to 115,000 on the button and Grundy folded, visibly annoyed. Wilson called rather swiftly and checked the 6♥6♠3♣ flop after which Smirnov waved with his hands to see the stack of the table neighbour.
Once Wilson revealed what he had behind, Smirnov bet the pot for 280,000 and Wilson folded.
"I had ace-king-five-six, how tilting is that ... and I cannot call," Grundy groaned.
