Hays Makes Smyth Reconsider on the River
Level 13: 2000/4000 (4000)
Entries: 142/508
Antonin Hays raised 3x from the small blind, and Barry Smyth quickly called from the big blind. The flop came J♣7♠K♠, and Hays continued for 12,000, with Smyth snap-calling.
On the turn Q♥, Hays fired again, this time for 35,000, and Smyth responded with another instant call. The river 3♣ saw Hays take his time before shoving all-in for 68,500. Smyth, who had a similar stack, asked for a count before ultimately folding.
A bold play by Hays, who scooped the pot and left Smyth wondering what could’ve been.
Antonin Hays – 201,000
Barry Smyth – 73,000
