Lijo the Hero

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up completed board of {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, Dan Smith was first to act and he bet out 18,000 in to the pot of 19,000.

His opponent, Lander Lijo, then went deep into the tank.

After using several time banks, Lijo made the call and was shown {q-Spades}{10-Spades} by Smith for just queen-high.

The table went silent as Lijo then flipped over {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for ace-high to take down the pot, which left Smith with under 30,000.

Fortunately for Smith, he pulled off a successful squeeze play the very next hand to bring him back to 35,000.
