Smith Takes the Lead

We have just witnessed the biggest hand on the final table. Action started with Geoff Smith opening to 35,000, before Miroslav Sheynin raised to 85,000 in chips, which was called. The flop came out {5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, and Sheynin continued with a bet of 60,000, before Smith announced a raise, making it 140,000. Sheynin paused for a moment, before announcing all in, for 600,000 which was snap-called.

Sheynin: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Smith: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both players had a flush draw, with Smith being behind, but with outs to make a straight. The turn fell the {10-Clubs} to give Smith the lead, and when the river dropped the {Q-Hearts}, some thought that Sheynin had won the hand. Smith, however, made a queen-high straight, to win the pot, and move to over a million in chips.
