Jousting with Jeremiah

Jeremiah Smith (from Day 1a)
Jeremiah Smith (from Day 1a)
Jeremiah Smith raised to 3,000 from early position, and Stefan Mattsson called him from the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Mattsson checked, Smith bet 10,000, Mattsson check-raised to 26,500, and Smith called.

The turn brought the {9-Spades}. Mattsson bet 25,000. "You just fire away, don't you?" said Smith. He then pushed all in for about 200,000 (well covering Mattsson).

Mattsson thought a bit, then folded. Smith showed his hand -- {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Mattsson said he'd folded pocket jacks.

Smith now has 275,000, while Mattsson has slipped to 89,000.
