Smith & Vaillancourt Play Ten Minute Hand

Dan Smith started the action by opened to 42,000 and Noah Vaillancourt raised to 93,000 from the cutoff. The blinds released and Smith re-raised to 177,000. Vaillancourt took some time to think and then called.

The flop came {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} , Smith bet 146,000 and Vaillancourt called. But that took quite some time. The turn came {Q-Hearts} which both players eventually checked. The river brought the {10-Hearts} , Smith checked and Vaillancourt bet 238,000 after an excruciatingly long tank. Smith folded rather quickly compared to the pace of the hand and Vaillancourt chipped up significantly.
