Smith's Stack Continues to Grow

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jason Wheeler opened to 160,000, leaving a single 25,000 chip behind. Mitchell Smith called next to act, and Philip Mauer did the same from the big blind.

On a flop of 644 Smith placed a min-bet of 50,000 when checked to. Mauer folded and Wheeler called all in.

Jason Wheeler: 73 All in
Mitchell Smith: Q9

Wheeler couldn't make a pair or a straight on the 69 runout, giving Smith an even larger chip lead over the table.
