Smith Makes the Right Call

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Oskar Wedde raised to 255,00 from the hijack with {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Craig Smith called on the button with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Tomas Sujeta found {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} in the big blind and defended it.

The flop came {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} for Smith to hit a pair of eights, Sujeta checked, Wedde continued with a bet of 325,000 which was called by both Smith and Sujeta.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, they all checked through to the {8-Clubs} on the river for Smith to improve to trips. Sujeta led out for 750,000, Wedde folded and Smith made the call after contemplating it for a while to scoop the pot.
