Smith Fills on the River

A lucky river card saved Jordan Smith more than 1 million chips. He raised preflop to 525,000 and was called by James Calderaro. Calderaro cheked the {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop, then called a bet of 650,000. Both men checked the turn after it fell {5-Clubs}. The river was a seeming blank, the {2-Hearts}. Again Calderaro checked. But on this street, Smith did not check behind. Instead he bet 1.75 million. Calderaro called, then mucked when he saw that the river had hit Smith hard, giving him a full house with {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}.

Smith is up to 16.3 million. Calderaro is one of the shortest stacks with 3.6 million.
