Smith Gets Paid on the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 600, Albert Smith flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind three-bet to 1,200. The hijack and Smith both called, bringing the 3♥J♦J♥ flop.
It checked to the big blind, who continued with a bet of 2,300. Only Smith called.
The 6♣ turn went check-check, and the K♦ landed on the river. Smith fired out a bet of 6,000 and the big blind thought for a moment before making the call.
Smith tabled Q♦3♦ for two pair, jacks and treys, besting the A♦7♦ of the big blind.
