Smith Hits a Straight

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Frederik Farrington raised to 2,000 from the hijack seat and Elliot Smith called from the big blind. The players went heads-up to a flop of {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and both checked.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and Smith led out for 5,000, getting a call from Farrington. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Smith pushed all in for his remaining 23,000. Farrington barely paused before calling. Smith flipped up {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a rivered straight, grinning. Farrington shook his head, paying out the double-up while showing his {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

"You had to call with jack-six?" Farrington said lightheartedly, referring to the preflop action.

"I just wanted to get you," Smith joked.

Farrington was left with a very short stack, pushed it all in the next hand, and won a double-up with {8-}{9-} over an opponent's {q-}{10-}.
