Less to Stack Up

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Justin Smith forgot his receipt today, so he asked us to help him find his table. He's at Table 352, Seat 6, and he hurried over there just in time to catch his big blind.

Anton Kozlovskiy raised from early position, and Smith defended his forced bet to go heads-up. The dealer spread out {3-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds}, and both players checked. They did likewise on the {5-Hearts} turn, and the {10-Clubs} came on the river. Smith was still slowly stacking up his chips, plucking the yellow T1,000 chips as he began to organize the pile. He left one stack in his hand, then pulled 2,200 more chips from the pile and flung them out into the pot. Kozlovskiy called.

It sounded like Smith said, "Ace-king," but whatever it was, it wasn't as good as Kozlovskiy's {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, and Smith's chip-stacking chore is reduced a bit to about 83,000 worth.
