Smith Wins a Flip and Picks Off a Bluff

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gavin Smith was all in preflop against his opponent, who he had covered.

Opponent: AK All in
Gavin Smith: QQ

The board ran out J3482 and Smith's pair of queens held to send his opponent to the rail.

A few hands later, Smith knocked out another opponent when he picked off a bluff on the river. With about 70,000 in the pot and the board reading 57Q510, Smith was facing an all-in bet of 46,700.

After some contemplating, Smith eventually put in the call and was pleased to see that his A10 bested his opponent's 89.
