Smith Ratchets Up the Leaderboard

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found this hand going to the turn with 10,000 in the pot already. The board read {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and Marcelo Fonseca checked. Gavin Smith bet out 5,800, Fonseca check-raised all in for 25,700 and Smith called. The hands were tabled and Fonseca had top pair holding {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

However, Smith tabled {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} and needed to dodge a queen and a jack to take the hand. The river bricked for Fonseca falling {3-Spades} and chipping up Smith to 142,000.
