Smith Takes One Down with Turned Straight
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
James Chen limped in from the hijack and received a call from Dan Smith in the small blind. Dave Stann checked his option in the big blind.
Smith and Stann checked the 2?6?9? flop leading to Chen betting for 7,000. Smith made the call and Stann got out of the way.
Both players checked the 8? turn. On the J? river Smith checked again and Chen bet for 18,000. Smith put in a check-raise to 90,000 and showed 10?7? for a straight when Chen called. Smith's hand was enough to take down the sizable pot.
