Alan Smurfit with his bracelet laid out in front of his chip stack

Kirill Rabtsov raised to 1,100 after one limper. Alan Smurfit called from the big blind and the limper called as well. The flop came down {Q-Hearts}

and Smurfit checked first. The preflop limped checked as well and then Rabtsov fired a bet of 1,500. Smurfit stuck in a raise to 4,500 and only Rabtsov made the call.

The turn brought the {8-Spades}

, possibly completing a few straight draws. Smurfit fired out 10,000, which drew a fold from Rabtsov.

Smurfit won his first-ever bracelet in his first-ever WSOP event back in 2007, the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event. He now has 40,000 chips. Rabtsov dropped to 12,250.
