John Smith

John Smith has a knack for defeating some of the greats in this WSOP Heads-Up tournament and he had another tough battle on his hands against Scott Seiver. Smith wrestled away the chip lead from Seiver and the two players clashed in one final hand.

Smith limped in on the button and Seiver made it 4,500 from the big blind. Smith called and the flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Seiver continued for another 4,500 and Smith called to see the {4-Clubs} on the turn. Seiver jammed all in for 24,600 and Smith snapped him off.

John Smith: {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Scott Seiver: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Seiver flopped top pair but it was no match for Smith's two pair. The river was the {5-Spades} and Smith did it again, moving on to the next round by defeating Seiver.
