Smith Folds to Daily's Raise

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The action was picked up on the river with around 4,000 in the pot on a board that read 4♠7♥7♣2♥5♣. Darragh Smith bet 4,000 from the button and was check-raised to 16,000 by Gareth Daily out of the small blind.

Smith pondered over his decision for quite some time before reluctantly folding his cards and forfeiting the pot to Daily. Daily started to show his cards, then thought otherwise and slid them face down to the dealer.
