Smith Holding Steady
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After losing a couple of small pots in a row, Justin Smith got back to winning ways to keep his stack hanging steady as the bubble approaches.
Smith opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and received a call from a player in the big blind.
Action checked through the 9♠J♠5♣ flop to the 7♠ turn where the big blind checked again. Smith took the opportunity to bet, making it 30,000 to call. His opponent did not immediately fold but eventually mucked their holding to send the pot over to Smith.
