Huang Busts Another

Bryan Huang raised on the button and then Brooke Howard-Smith reraised from the small blind. Everyone else folded and Huang then stuck a giant stack of chips into the middle to put Smith all in. After tanking for a while, Smith finally made the call.

Smith {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Huang {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

"I was just trying to push you around," said Huang.

The dealer ran the board out, {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and that was it for Smith. The six on the turn did him in. Huang felt bad about the beat and kept apologizing. As SKYCITY's poker ambassador, Smith said "Don't feel bad, they put me in for free." This got a laugh from Huang and he felt a little better about it.

Huang is now up over 58,000.
