Addamo Pips Smith

Level 2 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was joined on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} in a three-way pot with 102,000 already in the middle. Dan Smith led from the big blind for 30,000. Michael Addamo called on the button and Masahi Oya folded in the small blind.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} to pair the board. Smith led for 55,000, and Addamo tossed in the call. The {q-Clubs} came on the river to continue to wet the board as there was now four to a straight out there. Smith thought for about 20 seconds before he checked. Addamo used up one of his time banks, before eventually checking back.

Smith said "king-queen" and tabled the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} but Addamo had that pipped with the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and he collected the hearty pot.
