Runner-Runner Straight Chip Lead for Smith

On a flop of {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Spades} Tyler Smith fired out 2,200 and found a caller next to speak before an opponent in late position check-raised all in for 12,925.

Smith made the call only to have the smooth-caller move all in for an additional 21,675 to Smith.

After doing some calculations and thinking, Smith eventually made the call to put both opponents at risk.

Smith: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}
Smooth-Caller: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Short Stack: {4-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds} landed on the turn to give Smith a straight draw to go along with his flush draw, and when the {8-Clubs} landed on the river, Smith was preparing himself to collect the pot.

"Yeah! F**k yeah!" screamed the smooth-caller thinking that his top set had held up.

Smith cheekily pushed his {7-Spades} a little closer to both the board and his opponent to signify the straight, as the embarrassed smooth-caller made a quick to the exit.

Smith is now our chip leader with 156,000 in chips.
