Brutal River for Smith
Level 29
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
As action was picked up on the flop with 64,000 in the pot on a 10♠3♥8♥ board, John Smith was facing a bet of 34,000 from Weston Mizumoto. Smith made the call, to see a turn.
The turn brought the 6♣, and Mizumoto lead out for 100,000. Smith very quickly called to head to a river.
The river was the K♥, and Mizumoto fired once more, this time declaring all-in for his remaining 333,500. Smith said, "Well I call", and Mizumoto tabled K♦K♠ for top set. Smith tabled K♣10♣ for top two pair, to show the cooler he just suffered. Mizumoto scooped the 999,000-chip pot, and took the commanding lead in this heads-up match.
