Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
With about 27,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, the small blind checked to Justin "Boosted J" Smith, who promptly bet 14,500. The small blind weighed his options for a minute and then put in a raise to 47,000. Smith only had 39,200 behind so it was a big decision, one which he thought about for a solid two minutes. In the end he decided to fold and will certainly be fighting an uphill battle from here on out.
