Smith Applies River Pressure
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ben Heath raised to 2,500 from under the gun and found calls from Dan Smith to his left and Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.
All three players checked the 
flop, with the action checking again to Smith after the 
turn. Smith fired 5,500 and Chidwick folded, while Heath took a moment before he made the call.
Smith fired again on the 
river for 14,000 and Heath used a time bank card before he folded.
The two battled again a few hands later with Smith under the gun and Heath in the big blind. Heath checked the turn of the 
board and called when Smith bet 2,500.
Heath checked again on the river and folded when Smith continued for 11,500, earning another boost to his stack.
