Smith Drags the First Pot

[user66118]

In the first hand of the day, a player in early position limped into the pot. Adam Junglen completed from the small blind, and the option came to Dan Smith. From the big blind, he made a raise to 450. The limper called while Junglen quickly ducked out of the way.

Heads-up, the flop came {9-Spades}

. Smith led out with a bet of 750, and his opponent raised it up to 2,250. Smith paused and called, and both men would check the {10-Diamonds}

on the turn. The {8-Spades}

filled out the board, and Smith fired 3,800 more chips. Without too much hesitation, his opponent folded.

With a quiet, "Thanks," Smith raked the first pot of the day, moving up to 32,800 in the early going.
