Kings No Good for Smith

An unknown player raised to 675 and received a call from the hijack. Action folded around to Gavin Smith in the small blind and he opted for a three-bet to 2,075. The original raised responded with a four-bet to 4,400, the cutoff folded, and Smith made the call.

Both players proceeded to check the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, leading to the {7-Clubs} turn. Smith ended up check-calling a bet of 6,700, and did the same to the tune of 12,700 in the {7-Spades} river. Smith showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, but it was no good against the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of his opponent.
