Giles Wins a Race

Giles Smadia
Giles Smadia
Giles Smadia reraised to 3,000 preflop after a player made it 1,000 to go. The player moved all in for 10,525 and Smadia made the call. Smadia would be racing, but held a slight lead with {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} against his opponent's {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Spades} and Smadia recorded the knockout. He has now increased his chip stack to 105,000 and is looking strong.
