Nice Guy Costs Howard-Smith Bigger Pot

With 1,300 in the pot and the flop reading {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, Brooke Howard-Smith led out for 700 and was met with a call from his lone opponent in the hand.

The turn of the {K-Hearts} was checked through to see the {J-Spades} land on the river and Howard-Smith fire 750 at the pot.

His opponent quickly made the call tabling his {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but it would be Howard-Smith's {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} that would see him collect the pot and move to 24,000.

"If you weren't the nicest guy George, I would have bet more!" uttered Howard-Smith as he slowly collected the pot.

"He'll probably take me out now!" added Howard-Smith as the next hand began.
