Unsuccessful Check Raise by Smith

Kyle Julius raised to 210,000 on the button and Dan Smith made the call from the big blind. The dealer floated down the {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} from the air and the boys started to play. Smith checked, Julius bet 180,000 and Smith made the call. Onto the turn and the pair were soon staring at the {7-Clubs} . This time Smith was not prepared to play nice, when he came thundering into the pot with a check-raise for 750,000 (Julius had bet 285,000). Julius stared down the barrel and made the call. The river card was the {8-Clubs} and Smith tapped the felt. Julius studied the face of our chip leader before laying out a cool 1 million and Smith mucked his hand.
