Nível 2
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The board read 
with around 500,000 in the middle already. Mark Smith was sitting in the big blind and glanced at Raul Paez's stack in the cutoff. Smith saw Paez had 200,000 left and decided to put him all-in. Paez called.
"I missed, I have nothing." Smith said while trying to muck his hole cards. The dealer forced him to table his cards and Smith showed 
for the missed straight draw. Paez had 
for the rivered flush to double up.
While they were playing this hand, Barny Boatman joined the table sporting a pair of crutches and his starting stack.
