Pre-flop, Gavin Smith opened for 200 and was called by a player in the cut-off. Smith bet out 250 on a flop of {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

. Smith checked the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

turn. The other player bet 600 and Smith re-raised all-in. His opponent went into the tank and finally called. Smith showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. His opponent was relieved to show {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

for two pair. He was relieved, that is, until the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

came on the river, trumping his two-pair.

The player was left with only 300 chips and was obviously disappointed. "I wanted a story to take home," he said.

Gavin Smith said, "I think you got one," and shook his hand.
