Cowboy Fires Bullets

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ben Smith, known as "Cowboy Ben" for his unmistakable cowboy hat, is a regular at Ho-Chunk Casino in Wisconsin Dells. We caught Smith, moving all in on a {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop which allowed him to rake in a 10,000 side pot after an opponent folded. However, there was 16,000 in the main pot. Smith tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} against the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} of his opponent. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn gave his opponent some outs, but no suck-out would happen this time as the {2-Hearts} peeled off on the river.
