Buffalo, NY's Sammy Smith flopped a straight and got it in against a turned set of queens.

The straight held to push Smith over 60,000 and leave his opponent with just one 25-denomination chip.

A few hands later, Smith got paid off making the nut flush and has it close to 70,000 now, earning him a spot among the early leaders.
