No Slowing Down from Smith
Niveau 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
There was a raise to 1,700 in early position followed by two callers. Michael Smith squeezed to 8,500 in the cutoff and was only called by Rick Aasen on his left.
The flop came 8♥6♠2♣ and Aasen check-called a bet of 4,500 from Smith. The turn brought the 3♥ and Aasen checked again. Smith fired out a bet of 9,000 but Aasen check-raised to 27,000 which Smith called.
The river was the 2♥ and Aasen checked for the final time. Smith splashed in a bunch of chips, putting Aasen to the test for his remaining stack but Aasen opted to lay his hand down.
