Smeljov Secures Small Three-Bet Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Stanislav Smeljov made it 1,000 to go in the cutoff. Romans Lihacovs responded with a three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind, and Smeljov called to the 5♠4♥7♥ flop.
The duo both checked, and Lihacovs checked again on the 10♠ turn. Smeljov fired a bet of 5,500, which Lihacovs called after some thought.
The 4♣ was subsequently checked to showdown again, where Smeljov's 8♠8♦ won the pot against Lihacovs' A♥Q♥.
