Smith Runs Into Aces

[user196676]

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We caught up with the action to see a board of spread on the felt. With well over 19,000 already in the middle, we found Dan Smith pondering his action. He continued to do so for about sixty seconds before finally cutting out 12,800. Pietro Paolo Sibione in the next seat over flat called and action was on a third player at the other end of the table. He released as there were two left going to the river.

The dealer produced the on the last street and Smith once again went into the tank. Time was called but by the time the floor staff came over Smith tapped the table to check. Sibione checked right back.

Smith showed but was ultimately behind Sibione's . Smith watched as the pot of roughly 45,000 chips was pushed toward his opponent. Smith is still above starting stack, however, with roughly 32,500.
