Smiljkovic Cranks Up The Heat

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in early position opened to 4,500 and was called by the button and Daniel Smiljkovic out of the big blind.

Smiljkovic checked on the flop and the early position player continued for 6,500. The button folded while Smiljkovic raised to 20,000. The early position player made the call to send the two players to the turn.

The turn saw Smiljkovic check and his opponent throw out 30,000. Smiljkovic, as on the flop, responded with a raise, this time enough to force the early position player all in. That sent his opponent into the tank for quite some time. Eventually he did find a fold to send a large pot the German pro's way.
