Smithland Up After Back to Back Hands

Action began preflop with a raise of 17,000 from the early position player. Both Kurt Smithland on the button, and the big blind player made the call. The board ran out 10♥Q♥7♦, as big blind checked to the raiser. The initial raiser led out for 20,000, having Smithland jam all in for 175,000. Both players folded with Smithland taking the pot.

Fresh off his previous win, it folded around to Smithland in the cutoff. He raised to 16,000 quickly facing a three bet from the Gabe Ramos in the big blind for 65,000. Smithland resigned folding his hand as Ramos scooped this pot.
