Maxime Taldir

Level 13

Blinds: 3,000-6,000
Limits: 6,000-12,000

Justin Smith raised from middle position, Angelo Karimalis three-bet from the cutoff and Smith called.

Smith checked the 2♠8♦9♠ flop. Karimalis raised, Smith moved all-in for 11,000 and Karimalis called.

Justin Smith: 10♦9♦ All in
Angelo Karimalis: A♠J♦

Smith was in the lead with a pair. He hit two pair with the 8♠ turn, but the A♥ river gave a better two pair to Karimalis, sending Smith to the rail.
