Smith Trips up Mizumoto
Level 27
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
John Smith opened to 8,000 on the button and Weston Mizumoto called.
Mizumoto check-called a 10,000 bet from Smith on the 8?5?K? flop and then both players checked on the 3? turn.
The 8? completed the board and Mizumoto took the initiative with a 35,000 bet. Smith called and Mizumoto showed 9?7? for a bluff.
Smith tabled 7?8? for trip eights and collected the pot.
On the other end of the table, Matthew Wantman and Darius Samual have been battling back and forth with neither player gaining a significant edge thus far.
