Holley Wins One; Smirnov Chops With Deutsch
Niveau 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ryan Hoenig raised to 210,000 in the hijack and earned a call from John Holley in the small blind. They checked to the 8♠5♠4♦6♣6♦ river on which Holley bet 200,000 and Hoenig folded.
Hassan Kamel then raised to 180,000 in the cutoff and Anton Smirnov three-bet the pot to 510,000 with few chips behind. Stephen Deutsch moved all-in for around 1.2 million and Kamel asked for a count while Smirnov was briefly stunned.
"That's more than I expected," Kamel said and folded while Smirnov called it off.
Anton Smirnov: A♥K♦J♥3♣
Stephen Deutsch: A♦K♥K♠4♠
The 6♦6♠2♠ flop and 9♠ turn locked up the high portion for Deutsch. Smirnov needed a low card to escape and spiked the 4♦ river to chop with the nut low.
