Smith Gaining Steam

Level 20 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

It was a battle of the blinds between Gavin Smith and Jason Mercier. The flop was {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Smith check-raised Mercier's bet of 31,000 to 76,000. Mercier made the call.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Smith led out this time for 127,000. Mercier called again.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Smith immediately put out 195,000. Mercier was pained by his decision once again and thought on it for a couple of minutes. He eventually decided to let go of his hand as he slid the cards to the muck and let Smith take the pot without a showdown.
