Smyth Triples and Then Some

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Peter Smyth, who was recently moved off the feature table along with his tablemates Rainer Kempe and Maria Ho, just added quite a few chips to his stack.

The first hand, he was part of a multi-way pot which found him all in for 131,000. Michal Mrakes called, but Marc MacDonnell raised all in causing Mrakes to fold.

MacDonnell had {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Smyth was racing with {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Smyth tripled up.

"What are these!?" he said as he brought in his newly found chips.

"What am I supposed to do with these?"

The next hand, the action folded to Smyth in the small blind.

"I haven't had a walk in three days," he told Maria Ho who was in the big blind.

He raised.

"I'm going to make it twenty-three," he said betting 23,000.

Ho called and the flop came {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

Smyth announced a continuation bet of 34,000.

Ho folded and Smyth added a few more chips to his growing stack.
