Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After calling Dylan Smith's raise preflop in the big blind, Mamad Arani checked to him on the 10♣6♦5♣ flop. Smith, on the button, then fired a continuation-bet of 40,000, which Arani raised to 120,000.

After some thought, Smith went all in for about 500,000. Arani gave it little thought before mucking his cards and surrendering the pot.
