Smith Doubles Through Brown In Half Million Chip Pot

Shilton Smith

Shilton Smith has just doubled through Jason Brown in the biggest pot of the tournament to date.

Catching the action on the turn on a board of {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, Smith led out with a bet of 76,500 from the small blind and Brown quickly called in the big blind.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Smith announced himself all in, with Brown insta-calling! Smith flipped {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the straight and gave a little dance in his chair as Brown mucked.

Smith is up over the 500,000-chip mark as Brown slips back to around 650,000.
