Smiley Takes a Big Hit From Lascar

Dominic Clementson

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Zachary Smiley and David Lascar were all-in preflop, courtesy of a classic cooler. Lascar was the player at risk.

David Lascar: A♠A♥
Zachary Smiley; K♣K♦

The board ran out J♥9♥7♥4♥10♦, doubling Lascar up and leaving Smiley — who had just cracked aces the hand before — very short indeed.

The pot stood at approximately 86,000 as the board read 2♠7♥2♥10♠.

The river came 10♥ and the hand checked to a showdown.

Both players held ace-high and were seemingly surprised the pot transpired to be a chop.
