Smith Picks Another Spot

Level 25 : 200,000/400,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Dan Smith opened with a raise to 350,000 on the button. Michael Mizrachi called from the small blind before John Hennigan announced "pot" from the big blind, making it 1,400,000. Smith immediately stood up from his seat.

"If two players bust in the same hand, does it go by chips?" Smith asked the floor for clarification. The floor confirmed. Smith thought for a bit longer then released his hand. Mizrachi immediately let go as well.

"Damn," Smith said. "I was hoping he would bust your ass."

Hennigan smiled and raked in the pot.
