Jeremiah Smith Earning a Lot

Here are the details on that recent hand involving Jeremiah Smith:

A player under the gun opened the action with a raise to 1,500. Smith and two other players made the call, and the four of them went to the flop.

It rolled out {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {8-Clubs}, and the initial raiser continued out with a bet of 4,000. The play was on Jeremiah Smith, and he bumped it up to 12,000, enough to force out the other two men in the hand. The under-the-gun player came back over the top, moving all in for approximately 40,000. Smith made the call, and the hands were turned up.

Jeremiah Smith had flopped a set with his {8-?} {8-?}, and had captured the lead against his opponent's {J-?} {J-?}. The player needed to catch one of his jacks or complete his open-ended straight draw to stay alive. The turn and river came {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, though, and Smith's full house was the winner. He dragged in a nice chunk of chips, eliminated a player, and has moved up to 140,000, starting the day off in the right direction.
