Aggression Takes it Down For Smith

Vashon Smith opened in late position to 2,400 and was called by the player in the cutoff. On a flop of Q♣5♦7♣, Smith check-called a bet from the cutoff player of 2,000 before seeing the 10♠ fall on the turn. Smith checked again to see the cutoff player put out another bet, this time for 3,500. Smith responded with a check-raise to 13,500, forcing his opponent into a short tank. After a brief moment, the player in the cutoff sent his cards into the muck and Smith took the pot down.

Elsewhere in the room, Richard Book is one of many players crossing over the six figure chip count milestone sitting on 105,000.
