LEVEL – 7 ANTE – 100 BLINDS – 400/800 REMAINING – 46/82
Derl Smith is hard at work building his chip stack.
Facing a limp bet from the UTG player, Smith is next to act and reasies to 2,800 preflop. The action folds around to the UTG spot and Smith gets a call.
Flop: Qc 7s 9d
The first player checks, then Smith fires 3,500 into the pot. His opponent folds and Smith pulls in the chips.
He is currently one of the tournament chip leaders, sitting with about 50,000.
*Update: After returning to the tournament area after writing up this story, I found Smith in a 3-way all-in pot with two pair. He busted both of his opponents, collected two bounties and is now sitting with over 80,000 in chips.
