Hand #97 - Elliot Smith | 2009 Aussie Millions

Elliot Smith has the button. He limps into the pot. Peter Rho checks his option in the big blind after Stewart Scott folds in the small blind. The flop is {6-Diamonds}

. Rho checks to Smith, who bets 75,000. Almost before Smith's chips are in the middle, Rho raises to 200,000. Smith mulls things over for thirty seconds and then calls.

The turn card comes {2-Spades}

. As we've seen a few times today, Rho goes into the tank for about a minute as the first to act and then checks. Smith takes far less time to bet 125,000. It's a strangely small bet and seems to confuse Rho. He calls after a minute.

The {9-Clubs}

falls on the river. Rho checks to Smith. After thirty five seconds, Smith bets 300,000. Rho tilts his head down in Smith's direction, trying to divine the purpose of Smith's bet. After thirty seconds, he peeks at his cards again, then stands up over the table. Another thirty seconds goes by before Rho counts his stack to see how much he has left behind. He asks the dealer to cut down Smith's bet. She complies

Another glance at Smith, who is stock still. Rho is in the tank for two minutes now. He finally calls. Smith turns over {A-Clubs}

fo trip fours. Rho taps the table "nice hand," and mucks his cards.
