Smith Scoops Chan

Level 21

Big O

Lok Chan and Christopher Smith were heads up to the river with more than 350,000 chips already in the middle on the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} runout.

Smith took some time before sliding out a bet of 300,000, and Chan counted his chips before making the call. Smith flipped over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for top set and the nut low to scoop the pot.

No-Limit Five Card Draw High

On the very first hand of the day, Craig Chait raised to 40,000 from the button and Andrew Robl shoved for 205,000 from the small blind. Richard Ashby shoved for slightly more and Chait agonized over the fold.

"To go or not to go," Chait said as he checked his cards. "What a weird spot on hand number one."

Chait finally folded and both players drew one.

Andrew Robl: {10-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Richard Ashby: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {x-}
