Smith's Flopped Top Pair Takes Down Pot

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

The flop came {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} with three players. Eric Smith led for 1,200 from the hijack. The button called while the small blind folded.

The turn came the {6-Hearts}. Smith checked to the button, who bet 7,000. Smith called.

The river paired the board, coming {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked, at which point Smith tabled his hand, showing {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flopped pair of nines to go with the pair of sixes on the board. That was good enough to win the pot worth about 25,000.
