Smith Folds a Straight to Venhaus
Level 11
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a completed board of 2♦10♦2♣9♣K♦, there was close to 30,000 in the pot when Dalton Smith led for 12,500 but then Kevin Venhaus moved all in to cover.
After a few painful moments in the tank, Smith folded Q♠J♠ face-up to show a straight. Venhaus then let him sleep easy as he flashed 9♦9♠ for nines full of deuces to scoop the pot.
Unfortunately for Smith, he was eliminated a few hands later and will have to return tomorrow if he wants a chance at some RGPS Main Event glory.
