Smith Nursing Half the Average

Reza Tabatabai opened for 12,000 from middle position and received a call from Gavin Smith in the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

Tabatabai was first to act and fired out 14,000, which Smith called fairly quickly. When the {4-Hearts} turned, Tabatabai kept the pressure on by upping his bet to 27,000. This time Smith, who was enjoying a massage, gently slide his cards to the dealer and gave up on the hand.
