Danny Smith Heads for the Cage

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Wesley Ismay is one of the players who has chips to burn. Calling 153,000 preflop to try to take out Danny Smith was hardly a drop in the bucket for Ismay. He made that call with {J-Clubs}

against Smith's {A-Hearts}

. A pair of jacks on the turn became a straight on the river, more than enough to take down the pot on a board of {8-Diamonds}

.
