Williams Takes Out the Smiths

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three players were all in preflop, as Jerod Smith had his last 8,000 in preflop from early position, and Melissa Smith had called to put him at risk from the small blind. Freddy Williams then jammed over the top from under the gun for 37,300, and Melissa Smith tanked for a minute before committing her last 32,000.

Jerod Smith: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Melissa Smith: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Freddy Williams: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Jerod Smith was able to improve on the {2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, but it wasn't enough to overcome Williams' kings after the {9-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river failed to provide any further help.
