Wang Cripples Smith; Smith Stages Comeback

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded around to the dressing gown clad Dan Smith in the small blind and he moved all-in for 387,000. Big blind Zuo Wang looked down at his cards and called instantly.

Dan Smith: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Zuo Wang: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Smith was in bad shape and did not improve when the board ran out {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and the only ray of sunshine was the fact that Wang did not have him covered. Unfortunately for Smith, he did not get much change and was left with a paltry 4,000 �C a little less than a single ante.

All in automatically the next hand Smith received some protection when Timothy Adams min-raised and folded out the blinds.

Adams rolled over {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}, dominating Smith��s {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} until the board ran out {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades} to give the US player the flush and he climbed back up to 15,000.

Smith won the next hand as well after moving all-in with {9-Spades}{10-Spades} and both Imad Derwiche and Oliver Weis called from the blinds and checked the {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts} board all the way down.

��Nice game boys�� Psyche!�� joked Smith as he slapped the winning hand face up on to the felt to climb back up to 51,000. What a recovery!
