Shmelev Doubles Up With Kings
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
From early position, Ilia Shmelev opened to 1,600, and was called by Christopher Mouawad in the small blind.
But on the flop 6?9?3?, Mouawad took the lead and bet 3,000. A few seconds later, Shmelev raised to 8,000. Mouawad then moved all in, and Shelve called with the smallest stack (17,700).
Ilia Shmelev: K?K?
Christopher Mouawad: A?9?
Mouawad had top pair, but he ran into Shmelev's kings. So after the turn 4? and the river J?, Shmelev doubled up.
