Edmonds Climbing

Those over the Tasman at SKYCITY Auckland will be disappointed to hear that Brooke Howard Smith is a recent casualty from today's field.

Smith had raised from the cutoff to 4,200 with Brendan Edmonds making the call in the big blind. They saw a {J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and Edmonds checked to Smith, who moved all in for 31,500. Edmonds made the call.

Edmonds tabled {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for just middle pair but it was a great call as Smith showed {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a bare flush draw. The turn and river bricked {3-Spades}, {K-Hearts} and Smith was sent to the rail as Edmonds climbs into the top five chip leaders with 184,500 chips.
