Nguyen Straightens Out Schmelev
Nguyen: (X) (X) / / (X)
Schmelev: (X) (X) / / (X)
Brandon Adams was the player who completed the bet on third street, but he quickly got out of the way as Men Nguyen raised and Vladimir Schmelev re-raised. Nguyen called to fourth street.
Schmelev checked to the aggressive Nguyen, then raise after Nguyen bet. Nguyen called that bet, and called again on fifth and sixth streets. At the river, Schmelev made one last bet. Nguyen raised, then slammed over his cards one at a time after Schmelev called: for a king-high straight.
Schmelev is the short stack again, down to 115,000. Nguyen is up to 1,150,000.
