Gediminas Kiuberis

Chip leader James Smart’s table just broke, and he was relocated to the direct left of another big stack, that belonging to Lithuanian grinder Gediminas Kiuberis. The two wasted little time playing a significant pot.

Smart was in the small blind for this pot, heads-up against Kiuberis on the button. The flop was Ah5c4d, and Smart bet 10,000 into a pot of about 13,000. Kiuberis raised to 30,000, and Smart called.

The turn was the 2s, and Smart checked. Kiuberis bet 35,000, and Smart quickly uncapped his cards and slid them into the muck.

That exchange moved the two into a dead heat for the chip lead with just less than one full level of play remaining in the day.

Gediminas Kiuberis – 355,000
James Smart – 355,000
