"Punty" Overcomes Domination to Double Up

Scott "Punty" Smith
Scott "Punty" Smith
Team Scott Smith fans, brace yourself. Your man opened a pot from late position to 25,000. Action passed to Marlon Goonawardana in the big blind, who re-popped it to 100,000. Smith moved all in for a total of 200,000 and was snap-called.

Smith: {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Goonawardana: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

Smith was a 3-to-1 underdog, but turned the tables on Goonawardana by hitting the {8-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} flop. The turn {9-Clubs} gave Smith a bit of a sweat; he needed to dodge all the kings and all the clubs on the river. He did; the river was the {5-Hearts}.

Smith is up to 530,000 in chips.
