Smith Chipping Up
On a heads-up river of 2♥6♥8♦J♦A♣, there was around 250,000 in the pot when Ky Nguyen checked over to his opponent Dylan Smith, who then set out a bet of 175,000.
Nguyen then went into the tank for a good while, using two of his time banks to debate this decision.
Before he used his third, Nguyen made the call but was then shown A♠J♥8♥3♦ by Smith for top two-pair and Nguyen mucked his hand.
Two hands later, Michael Russo opened to 27,000 and Smith three-bet to 94,000 and action folded back around to Russo who made the call.
Russo checked the flop of 3♥Q♥A♠ and Smith continued for 100,000. Russo went into the tank before making the call to see the 9♦ on the turn.
Russo checked once more and Smith announced pot for 417,000 and Russo shook his head and hastily mucked.
