Smith Takes a Small Pot

Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mikkel Stenkjer raised to 16,000 in the hijack, which only Craig Smith called, defending his big blind.

Both players checked the J♦A♠A♥ flop and moved onto the 9♠ turn.

Smith check-called a bet of 12,000, before the 8♠ river checked through.

The J♣3♣ of Smith was enough to claim the pot, beating the K♥Q♦ of Stenkjer.
