Pegasus Stays Alive

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A short-stacked Mark "Pegasus" Smith moved all in under the gun for 11,600 and cleared the field all the way to Matthew Plecki, who called from the big blind.

Plecki: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Plecki was behind but drawing to live cards. The {5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop was non-threatening to Smith, and the {6-Diamonds} turn was safe enough. All Smith had to do was dodge queen-jack paint, and that's what he did as the {6-Clubs} completed the board on the river.
