Andre Smith recapped a hand for us moments ago that saw Scott Gaddi increase his stack to 100,000.

Lue Huang opened from the cutoff, Shooter Stracuzzi called from the small blind and Gaddi jammed from the big. Huang folded but Stracuzzi called and was dominating with against Gaddi's .

Gaddi found some life with an open-ender on the flop and he hit his straight on the turn to stay alive.
