It's All About SM Right Now

SM raised to 2,400 and Maverick Zackey called on the button, as did the big blind. On a K♥8♦6♦ flop, the big blind check-folded when SM bet 5,000 and Zackey called. They headed to the 9♣ turn on which SM bet another 25,000 and Zackey called after using one time bank.

That led to the 4♠ river on which SM jammed. Zackey quickly called and was shown the A♠A♣.

"That's fucked up, " Maverick gritted as he briefly flashed the cards to the table and departed.

One hand later, SM raised the very same amount and Vishal Ghoorbin called one seat over. One further player came along before Marriette Language got her last 6,000 in out of the big blind without checking at her cards. SM reraised to 20,000 and isolated successfully.

SM tabled his K♣Q♥ and Language joked "is that all?" before she turned over her cards: 4♦3♠! "Oh, I have a chance," she joked.

Neither player connected with the A♥8♥6♣J♠6♣ board and SM scored the second knockout in a row.
