Smith Smacks the River To Survive

Level 41 : 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Brian Smith
Brian Smith

Brian Smith raised to 5,500,000 from the hijack, which only Thomas Hall called on the button.

Smith continued for 7,500,000 on a 6910 flop, which saw Hall respond by moving all in, having Smith covered. Smith just about beat Hall into the pot with a call.

Brian Smith: 88 All in
Thomas Hall: A10

The 4 turn had no effect, but the 7 river improved Smith to a straight, ensuring his survival with a double-up to boot.

The very next shuffle, Vinay Boob raised to 5,000,000 from the hijack, and Hall got back on the horse, three-betting to 11,500,000. The action folded back to Boob, who returned his cards to the dealer.
