Smith Gets There On The River

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their back on a flop reading {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} with James Smith under the gun having called an all in bet from a player for 17,900 in in the hijack.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
James Smith: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

"How about an eight of clubs," asked his opponent.

He got half of his wish as the turn came off an {8-Hearts}, which gave more outs to Smith to scoop. The river {9-Spades} gave him top two, but it straightened out Smith who eliminated his opponent and took down the pot. His opponent went over to rebuy area to buy in once more.

"Never call for it when you're ahead," said Smith to his table as he took down the pot.
