Smith Drills Two-Outer to Survive
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three-ways to the turn with the board reading 8♠8♥5♣Q♥, John Smith bet 2,600 from early position before the button raised to 7,000. The big blind folded before Smith jammed for 21,500 and his opponent called.
John Smith: A♥A♣
Button: J♦8♦
Smith was outflopped by the trip eights of the button and had just two outs to survive. However, the dealer peeled the A♠ on the river to give Smith a full house and he doubled in dramatic fashion.
