Smith Applies River Pressure

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Heath raised to 2,500 from under the gun and found calls from Dan Smith to his left and Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.

All three players checked the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, with the action checking again to Smith after the {2-Clubs} turn. Smith fired 5,500 and Chidwick folded, while Heath took a moment before he made the call.

Smith fired again on the {6-Spades} river for 14,000 and Heath used a time bank card before he folded.

The two battled again a few hands later with Smith under the gun and Heath in the big blind. Heath checked the turn of the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} board and called when Smith bet 2,500.

Heath checked again on the {2-Clubs} river and folded when Smith continued for 11,500, earning another boost to his stack.
