Heidt and Smith Hungry for Chips
On one table, the action was checked to Mitchell Heidt who made a bet 1,100 on a flop reading 
. His opponent check-raised to 3,400 from the big blind, only to have Heidt three-bet to 11,100. His opponent tossed his cards away and Heidt took down the pot.
Next door, Ryan Smith was faced with a raise to 1,200 from middle position and call from the small blind. Smith re-raised to 4,600 out of the big blind and the initial raised shoved all in. The button quickly got out of the way and Smith called just as fast for his remaining 25,200 chips. He was in a dominating position with 
against his opponent's 
.
The board ran out 
and Smith's two pair with a king-kicker was good enough to earn him the double up. The two Saskatchewan, Canada boys are gaining some momentum heading into the dinner break.
