Smith Lets One Go

With a little over 8,000 in the pot on the flop of {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Tyler Smith checked and the next player checked. The payer on the button bet 6,000 and Smith called. The player in the middle position then raised to 12,000. The player on the button who had original bet the flop folded and Smith called.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and Smith checked. His opponent quickly bet 20,000 and Smith went into the tank. Smith asked his opponent to count down his stack and the player did so with very, very shaky hands. He had 50,600 behind. Smith tanked for a little bit more, but eventually folded his hand. His opponent tabled the {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight and Smith dropped back to 154,000 in chips.
