The flop came down 
, and Smith continued for 7,000. Halioua raised to 17,000, Smith called, and the 
fell on the turn. Smith checked to Halioua, who bet 26,000. After a few moments, Smith check-raised to 75,000. Halioua called to see the 
on the river, and Smith shoved with a slightly larger stack.
