Smith and Greenberg Get Paid Off

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Noah Schwartz raised to 8,000 from early position and Dan Smith just called from the big blind. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Smith checked to Schwartz who continued for 9,000. Smith check-raised to 26,000 and Schwartz made the call.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Smith continued for 35,000. Schwartz stuck around to see the {a-Clubs} land on the river. Smith made a small bet of 25,000 and Schwartz felt inclined to pay him off. Smith tabled {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Schwartz was unable to beat it.

At the table next door, Nick Petrangelo opened to 6,500 in the hijack and was called by Larry Greenberg on the button, Manig Loeser in the small blind, and Dominik Nitsche in the big blind. The flop fell {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and the action checked to Greenberg who bet 20,000. Loeser folded and Nitsche raised to 45,000. Petrangelo also folded and Greenberg called.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Nitsche checked which allowed Greenberg to bet 60,000. Nitsche made the call and the {q-Hearts} completed the board. Nitsche check-called another bet of 50,000 from Greenberg who showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the winner.

"Larry is my favorite player," Cary Katz said with a laugh from the other side of the table.
