Punty on the Rise

A new player was broken to Eric Assadourian and Scott Smith's table after the latest break. On his first hand at the table, he moved all in for 10,000. Assadourian called before Smith reraised to 35,000.

"I hope you've got better," said Assadourian as he open-mucked pocket jacks. Smith tabled {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, a hand that was favored over the new player's {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. The flop came {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. If Assadourian had called the raise, he would have caught the case jack against Smith's top pair, top kicker. Instead, Smith's hand was best, and stayed that way through the {8-Spades} turn and {Q-Clubs} river.

Assadourian has slipped down to 76,000 in chips. Smith keeps climbing -- he's now up to 184,000.
