Smith Scores a Full Double Up

Adam Lamers

Level 18 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

John Smith limped in on the button and Chris Brewer raised to 15,000 out of the big blind. Smith nearly folded but then opted to see a flop which came J?J?5?. Brewer led out with a bet of 10,000 and Smith just called to see the 7? on the turn.

Brewer fired out another bet of 40,000 on the turn and Smith called. The river was the 4? and Brewer splashed in a bet of 130,000. Smith shoved all in for 176,600 which got Brewer out of his seat as he showed his cards J?8?.

"You just have eight-six of spades or some funny jack that made a full house. How much more is it? I don't think I can fold," Brewer rambled on as the stack was counted. Brewer got the final count and made the call only to see Smith turn over J?7? for a full house to double into the lead.
