Wang Cripples Smith; Smith Stages Comeback
Action folded around to the dressing gown clad Dan Smith in the small blind and he moved all-in for 387,000. Big blind Zuo Wang looked down at his cards and called instantly.
Dan Smith: 
Zuo Wang: 
Smith was in bad shape and did not improve when the board ran out 
and the only ray of sunshine was the fact that Wang did not have him covered. Unfortunately for Smith, he did not get much change and was left with a paltry 4,000 – a little less than a single ante.
All in automatically the next hand Smith received some protection when Timothy Adams min-raised and folded out the blinds.
Adams rolled over 
, dominating Smith’s 
until the board ran out 
to give the US player the flush and he climbed back up to 15,000.
Smith won the next hand as well after moving all-in with 
and both Imad Derwiche and Oliver Weis called from the blinds and checked the 
board all the way down.
“Nice game boys… Psyche!” joked Smith as he slapped the winning hand face up on to the felt to climb back up to 51,000. What a recovery!
