Smurfit Takes the Chip Lead

Alan Smurfit and his opponent got all in on a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

Smurfit showed {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was behind his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, but the turn of {10-Spades} put Smurfit ahead and he held on when the {J-Diamonds} landed on the river.

Smurfit now has a 4-1 lead on his opponent.
