Smith Yearns for the Mines
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Smith raised to 400 from middle position before Mikolaj Zawadzki three-bet to 1,900 from the small blind. Smith put in the extra chips and the pair saw a flop of 8♦A♠10♥.
Zawadzki made a continuation-bet of 1,200 and Smith called once more. The 10♣ turn and 7♠ river were then checked by both players, after which Zawadzki showed 9♠8♠ for two pair with tens and eights.
Smith played a higher two pair with his K♠K♥, and the pot was sent his way.
"I was set mining," Smith explained his preflop call while he was stacking his chips.
