One to Stanko

Scott Stanko opened with a raise in early position, and both blinds defended. Stephen Ma was in the small and James Smith in the big.

Three ways, the flop brought {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts}, and Ma check-folded. Smith called Stanko's 65,000-chip continuation bet, though, and it was heads-up to the turn. It brought the {2-Diamonds}. When Smith checked again, Stanko took his cue to fire a second bullet worth 135,000. Smith double-checked his cards and grinned.

"I got a real strong club draw," he joked, kicking his cards into the muck.
