Dan Smith open-jammed for his last 9,600 from middle position. The action folded to the player in the big blind, who laughed and folded {9-}{6-} face up.

The very next hand, Smith open-jammed again, and the action folded to Juha Helppi who instantly called out of the big blind. Helppi's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} crushed Smith's {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and held as the board came {4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.
