Hinh Gets Paid by Smith But Then Loses Flip

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was on the turn as the board read {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Jerod Smith called a bet of 8,000 from Daniel Hinh to make the pot about 36,500 as the {9-Clubs} came on the river.

Hinh moved all in for 30,500. Smith considered it for about 30 seconds before he called.

Hinh showed the {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for trip tens while Smith's had was shown to be the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} as he lost a good portion of his stack.

The very next hand, Hinh called the all in from Aaron Li to set up a flip for Li's stack.

Hinh had the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} while Li had the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to hold for the jacks and a chunk of Hinh's newfound chips over to Li.
