Smith Flops Wheel and Collects

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jerod Smith

Action was picked up on the turn as the board read {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} with a pot of 21,300 in the middle. Jerod Smith had raised his opponent's cutoff bet of 8,500 to 35,000 from early position, which was enough to put his opponent all in if he called.

His opponent considered it for a long time. "I raised preflop so I have a big hand," said Smith while his opponent tanked. Eventually, his opponent landed on a decision to call.

Smith flipped over the {4-Spades}{3-Spades} flopped wheel which was well ahead of the {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} two-pair of his opponent. The river did not fill up the two pair as the {7-Diamonds} came off and Smith grabbed all the chips of his now busted opponent.
