Smith's Big Call Sends Him to the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dan Smith raised to 26,000 from under the gun, Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 91,000 from the small blind and Smith made the call.
The J?4?A? flop saw Chidwick continue for 52,000. Smith called.
The 3? turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Chidwick sized up to 125,000.
The 3? landed on the river and Chidwick placed a bet of 325,000, which covered Smith by roughly 100,000 chips. With his tournament life on the line, Smith erupted from his chair, contemplating his options on his feet.
Smith used all but two of his remaining time bank chips before announcing "I call."
Dan Smith: A?8? 
Stephen Chidwick: A?K?
Chidwick outkicked Smith to the rail.
