Smith Snaps Off Nickle
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Level 13: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Ryan Nickle bet 8,000 on a flop of 8♣3♦2♣ and Randy Smith raised to 25,000. Nickle called, and the J♦ fell on the turn.
Nickle then moved all in, and Smith snap-called for 54,000. He showed 3♣3♠ for a set, while Nickle was on a straight draw holding A♥4♣. The J♣ river was no help, and Smith secured the double up.
"First set I've hit in a week," Smith said.
