[user75032]

Scott "Punty" Smith

Team Scott Smith fans, brace yourself. Your man opened a pot from late position to 25,000. Action passed to Marlon Goonawardana in the big blind, who re-popped it to 100,000. Smith moved all in for a total of 200,000 and was snap-called.

Smith: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

Goonawardana: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

Smith was a 3-to-1 underdog, but turned the tables on Goonawardana by hitting the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

flop. The turn {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

gave Smith a bit of a sweat; he needed to dodge all the kings and all the clubs on the river. He did; the river was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

.

Smith is up to 530,000 in chips.
