Smith Makes a Massive Laydown to Keep His Tournament Run Alive
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 75,000 ante
Dan Smith raised to 115,000 with 8x8x7x4x3x from the hijack and was called by Oscar Johansson in the small blind holding Ax7x6x5x2x.
Both players drew one — leaving Johansson with a seventy-six and Smith with an eighty-seven.
Johansson led out for 200,000, which was met with a raise to 900,000 from Smith. Johansson made it 1,760,000 to go — sending Smith deep into the tank.
Smith weighed his decision for over five minutes before correctly laying his hand down and Johansson was sent the pot.
