Action was heads up with 7?9?4?10? on the board and around 10,000 in the pot when Bradley Smith check-called a 5,000 bet from Andre Butler to see 4? on the river.
Smith checked again and then called when Butler fired 8,000. Butler turned over 8?6? to take the pot with a turned straight and Smith shook his head before he tossed the losing hand in the muck.
