"How much?" Rybin asked and Popov joked back "too much." Rybin called the shove and Smith raised to 175,000, picking up a call by Rybin. The two remaining players checked the 
turn and Rybin also checked the 
river.
Smith bet 350,000 and Rybin quickly called. "I was bluffing," Smith replied and rolled over his cards in 
. Rybin had that beat with 
for a straight and Popov showed 
to join the rail in 23rd place for $42,393.
