Smith Flops a Straight

Tyler Boyer

Level 43 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 0 ante

Darius Samual reclaimed the lead shortly before the hand, but in this pot, Samual called the 30,000 on the button, and John Smith checked his option.

The flop came 6?3?4?, Smith checked it over to Samual who bet out 30,000. Smith made the call to see a turn.

On the turn was the 10?, and Smith lead into Samual for 55,000. After using a time extension, Samual did make the call.

To complete the board, the river was the 6?, and Smith bet 75,000, before being raised by Samual to 225,000. Smith pondered the decision for a few moments before tossing in the chips to call. Samual turned over 9x6x for rivered trips but was disappointed to see Smith flopped a straight with 7x5x, and Smith scooped the 620,000 chip pot, and take back the lead.
