Howard-Smith Can��t Win With Big Cards

After having a stack of 50,000 in chips, Brooke Howard-Smith has dropped a considerable amount in the space of a few hands, to fall to 25,000.

The hand started with the player in the under-the-gun position limping into the pot, before the next player paused for a moment and raised it to 2,200. Brooke Howard-Smith was in middle-position and asked his opponent how much he had, before making the call. The table folded back around to the original limper, who folded.

The board came out {9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and the original raiser announced all-in for 10,150, which was met with the quickest call from Howard-Smith.

��Do you have a heart?�� asked Howard-Smith, tabling his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a flopped top-set. His opponent looked upset, as he tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

��He has two outs though,�� remarked Jesse McKenzie. The turn fell the {A-Clubs}, as Howard-Smith cried out ��Argh!�� after his opponent took back the lead.

��I had 50,000 in chips a few hands ago, and now I have 25,000�� remarked Howard-Smith, as he sat leaned over the table, with his head in his hands as the chips were pushed over to his opponent
