Smith on Fumes after Preflop Cooler

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Stuart Ruff opened to 50,000 from early position with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Dan Smith, also had a premium as he was holding the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The 2020 $25K Heads-Up bracelet winner made it 175,000 from the hijack.

Ruff wasted little time before four-betting to 525,000. Smith put in the call to build the pot to 1,100,000.

The {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop prompted Ruff to jam for 955,000 and Smith was in an uncomfortable position with his overpair. He asked for a count before calling.

Ruff would catapult up the leaderboard as the {8-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river confirmed his double up. Smith on the other hand was left with less than 20 big blinds.
