Jelinek Busted by Possible Chip Leader

Gerry Smyth's stack has reached 33,000, with the last couple of thousand coming from Steve Jelinek. Jelinek raised preflop to 500, which was then repopped to 1,500 by Smyth. He made the call and his remaining 1,800 were over the line almost before the {8-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} flop hit the felt. Smyth considered, but made the call with {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} .

"You're good," said Jelinek as he watched the {5-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} fall on the turn and river, his {8-Spades} {7-Spades} failing to improve.
