Smith Sends One Home

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action opened immediately when a player under the gun moved all in for 11,300. It was folded all the way around to Gavin Smith on the button who counted out his chips and dropped them in the middle for a call. The small blind got out of the way and the big blind capped his cards.

"Do you want to triple up?", the big blind player asked the player under the gun. Eventually he mucked his cards and the all in and the call were turned over:

Smith: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board fell {K-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Smith's pair of aces were able to send one toward the rail, bringing his stack up to around 80,000.
