Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Dan Smith had opened from early position, and Matt Waxman called in position. That brought the players to the {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop where Smith led for 7,500. Waxman raised to 15,000, and Smith just called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, and both players checked to see the {6-Clubs} land on the river. Smith checked, and Waxman announced that he was all in. Smith called all in for 52,600 and tabled the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a straight. Waxman mucked and was knocked back to 34,000 in chips. Smith moved to 150,000.
