Smith Sticks Around

Level 1 : 200/400, 400 ante

Kamal Bejjani opened the cutoff to 800 and got called in one spot when Mark Smith defended his big blind.

The 9?8?10? flop landed and Smith check-called a pot-sized bet of 1,600 from Bejjani on their way to a 10? turn.

Smith checked and Bejjani put out the same bet of 1,600. Smith called again and the Q? rolled off on the river.

Smith checked for the last time and Bejjani took a moment and then checked back. Smith tabled Q?6? for a flopped gutter that rivered top pair. Bejjani mucked and Smith dragged the pot.
