Smith Buckles Under Pressure
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
San Kim started the action with 4,000 and got called by Alexander Smith on the button. Big blind Oren Shrak went way beyond with a massive overbet of 31,000 pushing Kim out of the pot. Smith, however, called.
The flop came 5♣J♣10♥. After a check, Shrak fattened the pot further with a 25,000 bet sending Smith to the tank. Smith started counting his chips and with only 34,900 behind, he mulled over the situation he was in. He ultimately folded surrendering the pot to Shrak
