Tim Baker

Level 20 : Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 15,000-30,000
Limits: 30,000-60,000

Jesse Lonis raised from early position and Dylan Smith three-bet from the small blind. Lonis called.

Smith bet on the 3♠3♣J♦ flop and Lonis called.

A J♠ arrived on the turn and Smith bet again. Lonis raised, and Smith called for his remaining 25,000.

Dylan Smith: 10♦10♣ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♥10♠

Smith's pair of tens were ahead and he just needed to fade an ace on the river to stay alive in the tournament.

The 2♣ completed the board and was a total brick, allowing Smith to double through Lonis.
