Dang Scoops Smith
Level 12
Omaha-8
Howard Smith and Trai Dang came into this second day of play at the top of the counts, although both have slid a bit during the first three-and-a-half levels of play. The pair were seated together at the same table today and have played several hands against one another, including an Omaha-8 hand just now.
The pair had reached the river with Dang having bet or raised and Smith contemplating a call. The board showed 
, and after a lengthy think Smith set out the calling chips.
Dang immediately tabled 
. "Good hand," said Smith, as he looked over Dang's cards. "Ace-deuce," he said, referring to Dang's 7-4-3-2-A low. "And you've got the jack," he added, referring to Dang's high hand of trip jacks.
