Presto Holds on a Dangerous Board

Limit Hold'em:

Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond raised from middle position and Justin "Boosted J" Smith looked him up from the big blind. Galfond check-raised the {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop and Smith called. Both players checked the {9-Spades} on the turn, and when the {8-Hearts} hit the river, Smith check-called one more bet from Galfond.

Galfond couldn't have felt too good about his hand as he rolled over {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, but much to his surprise, Smith mucked and he took down the pot.
