Smith Chops to Almost Triple
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Punnat Punsri opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from the hijack. Dan Smith called all in for his remaining 30,000 in the cutoff, and Manuel Fritz defended his big blind.
On a flop of A♣5♣9♥ Fritz checked over to Punsri, who opted to bet just 50,000. Fritz check-raised to 175,000, and Punsri folded.
Dan Smith: A♥2♦ 
Manuel Fritz: A♦4♦
The A♠7♥ runout meant that the two chopped the pot, and Smith saw what was possibly the start of a slow spin-up.
