Cha Doubles Through Smith

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tyler Smith raised to 100,000 and then folded when Kilian Loeffler three-bet the pot from two seats over.

Smith then raised to 100,000 again and PJ Cha three-bet to the same 360,000 with 100,000 behind. This time, Smith called and bet the K?10?9? flop for 100,000, Cha called all-in.

PJ Cha: A?K?Q?J?
Tyler Smith: A?6?4?2?

Smith had two back door flush draws but the J? turn and 8? river were no sweat.

Cha doubled while Joao Vieira lost the remainder of his short stack one table over to reduce the field to the last 39 contenders.
