Bruce Yamron had the button when he saw Asa Smith open a pot from early position to 23,000. He asked the dealer to confirm the amount of the bet and then called. Smith quickly checked the flop to Yamron, who fired out 38,000. Smith called that bet, then checked a second time when the turn fell . Yamron moved very quickly to his chip stack and cut out a bet of 80,000. That display of strength was enough for Smith; he folded his hand.
