Smith Dominates Early Stages

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

[Removed:17] raised from the button and picked up a call from Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind. On a flop of {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Kisagikoclu check-called a continuation bet worth 4,000 and checked the {Q-Spades} on the turn. Yan's second barrel was worth 12,000 and Kisagikoclu folded.

One table over, there were some 14,000 in the pot with the turn showing {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades}, and Stephen Chidwick checked his option in the big blind. Dan Smith bet 22,000 in the cutoff and Chidwick called. The {A-Diamonds} on the river completed the board and Chidwick checked again. Smith now fired hefty 123,000 and that forced a quick fold from Chidwick.
