Smolka Flops Trips to Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
John Doebs' massive towers of chips in front of him were just slightly reduced after he tangled in a pot with Dawid Smolka.
Doebs bet 15,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 5?5?6? and Seref Dursun Anar called in the small blind. Smolka then raised to 36,000 in the big blind.
Doebs moved all in and Anar quickly folded. Smolka, then, snap-called for 90,000. "You have a five, huh," Doebs said as they turned over their cards.
Dawid Smolka: 5?3?
John Doebs: 7?6?
Smolka had indeed flopped trip fives as the board ran out 9?K? to earn him a double up.
"What a huge comeback. I had 80,000," Doebs later said as he still sat with around 650,000 following the hand.
