Smith Takes One Down with Turned Straight

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

James Chen limped in from the hijack and received a call from Dan Smith in the small blind. Dave Stann checked his option in the big blind.

Smith and Stann checked the 2♣6♦9♦ flop leading to Chen betting for 7,000. Smith made the call and Stann got out of the way.

Both players checked the 8♣ turn. On the J♣ river Smith checked again and Chen bet for 18,000. Smith put in a check-raise to 90,000 and showed 10♦7♦ for a straight when Chen called. Smith's hand was enough to take down the sizable pot.
