Mizumoto in Awe of Smith
Level 26
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
The match-up between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith offers an interesting dynamic, with Mizumoto being many years younger than the veteran.
Mizumoto asked Smith about his history in the event and was in awe as Smith reeled off his Heads-Up record.
Through the polite discourse, they tangled in a hand, that saw Smith take a small lead.
Smith opened to 6,500 from the button and was called. Mizimoto check-called for 7,000 on the 8♣5♠5♦ flop before folding to a bet of 10,000 on the 7♥ turn.
