Chan vs. Smith: Chan Gets a Boost

Justin "Boosted J" Smith - Eliminated
Justin "Boosted J" Smith - Eliminated
Johnny Chan raised to 20,000, and Justin Smith came along from the big blind. The flop brought {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs}. Smith led out with a bet of 25,000, and Chan bumped it up to 80,000. Smith moved all in for his final 160,000, and Chan made the call to put him to the test.

Showdown
Chan: {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Smith: {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

Smith was ahead, but he had a lot of outs to dodge. Chan found one of his out cards when the {9-Diamonds} hit the turn to improve him to the leading pair of nines. The {3-Clubs} that filled out the board was of no use to Boosted J, and he has been struck out by Johnny Chan.
