Smith Catches up to Ko's Queens
Level 14
: Blinds 800/1,600, 0 ante
John Smith opened to 3,800 on the button and was three-bet to 10,000 by Young Ko. Smith called.
Both players checked on the 7♣4♠K♦ flop and then Ko bet 8,000 on the 8♣ turn. Smith called.
The 3♠ completed the board and Ko continued for 22,000. Smith put in calling chips and Ko turned over Q♠Q♥.
The ladies were no good, however, against Smith's 8♦3♦ for a runner-runner two pair and Smith was sent the pot.
