Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Smith had been opening a lot of pots recently with mixed results, but he remains active. In this hand Smith was in the small blind and made the call when Olivier Busquet opened for 16,000 from the cutoff and Talal Shakerchi came along from the button.
Three players went to a flop of 
and Smith led out for 33,000. Busquet folded but Shakerchi is known for his occasional stubbornness and called in position.
The turn card 
saw Smith continue for 51,000 and now Shakerchi did make the fold.
The dynamic on the table may change now however as tables are breaking and talkative Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has just sat down to join them.
