Huge Pots Sends Smith Soaring

The action folded around to Martin Smith in the small blind and he raised to 1,000. Smith faced some resistance from Jonathan Gray who three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. Smith responded by four-betting to 6,800 and the rest of the table were preparing for a five-bet all-in, except it didn’t come because Gray called.

Smith then led for 5,300 chips on the :::Kc:::7s:::Ah flop and Gray called. The :::Jc turn saw Smith check and Gray check behind. The river card was the :::9s and now Smith pushed all-in for 13,875 which sent Gray deep into the tank. After more than two minutes, Gray called but then mucked when Smith turned over :::Ad:::Kd for two pair.
