Smith Steals From Portaro

Level 1

2-7 Triple Draw

Bruno Portaro was the first player to enter into today's tournament and for a while there, it looked like he was going to take the Aussie Millions title by default (just kidding)!

However, he's got a few more players to go up against and we've just caught him in a hand on table 46 against Justin Smith.

Smith raised under the gun and the action folded to Portaro who called from the big blind. Gary Benson also called from the big blind before Portaro drew one card. Benson and Smith each drew three cards.

Portaro opened, Benson folded and Smith called, making it heads-up to the second draw, where both players took one card. Portaro check-called Smith's bet and then took one more card on the final draw. Smith stood pat and both players checked it down.

Smith showed {9-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Portaro showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-} before sending his hand into the muck. Safe to say that that last card wasn't all that great.
