Smith Turns a Straight

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Kane Kalas raised to 2,300 and John Smith called.

The flop came {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Smith check-called the 2,900 bet of Kalas.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs}, Smith checked again and Kalas bet 5,600. Smith counted out calling chips and then added his remaining 5,000-value chips to it to make it a raise to 20,600. Kalas looked at Smith's bet and then decided to put Smith all-in. Smith snap-called.

John Smith: {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Kane Kalas: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Smith had turned a straight and Kalas had top pair. The {9-Diamonds} on the river only improved Smith's straight and he doubled up for the 26,600 he had in front of him.
