Smolka's Two Pair Ends Bezhanyan High Roller

The action was picked up on the turn of a board that showed 10♠7♣J♠2♣. Dawid Smolka checked from the big blind and Aren Bezhanyan bet 88,000 from the hijack. Smolka called.
Somlka checked when the 4♦ appeared on the river and Bezhanyan put out a big bet of 178,000, leaving himself about 290,000 behind. Smolka thought it over before he check-shoved for the rest of Bezhanyan's chips. Bezhanyan was visibly distressed by the situation he got himself into. Eventually, he made the call.
Aren Bezhanyan: Q♥Q♠
Dawid Smolka: J♣4♣
Smolka had the winner with a rivered two pair, jacks and fours. Bezhanyan couldn't beat that with his overpair, so he was sent to rail. Smolka, on the other hand, moved up to 1,700,000 in chips.
