Chenyi Lyu opened to 2,500 from the Hi-jack. Nigel Burge-Jones (Button) and Alexandros Gkampranis (Small Blind) both made the call before Gary Smith pumped it up to 9,000 from the Big Blind. Gkampranis was the only one willing to pay to see the flop.
Gkampranis checked the Q♣2♦6♦ flop, then snap-called a 6,000 continuation bet from Smith. Action repeated itself on the 3♥ turn, the only difference being that the Smith sizing now was 12,000. Both players checked the 8♥ river.
Alexandros Gkampranis: 5♣5♦
Gary Smith: A♦J♣
Gkampranis’ gut feeling was right, and he secured the decently-sized pot.
Gary Smith: 121,500
Alexandros Gkampranis: 118,000
