Table 2
Hand #45: Dan Smith raised to 350,000 in the hijack seat, Jorryt van Hoof three-bet to 900,000 out of the small blind, and Smith responded with a four-bet to 1.825 million. Van Hoof tanked for the better part of five minutes before he shipped all-in for effectively 6.425 million, having Smith covered by around 400,000.
Smith checked his hole cards one by one, then called.

"It was a pleasure," Smith said, shaking a few hands at the table.
He'll earn $286,900 for his efforts, while van Hoof is up over 13 million chips.
