Smiley Wins the Battle of the Ten-Nine

Aug 4, 2017

Facing a limp, Andy Philachack calls on the button, as does the small blind. From the big blind, Zachary Smiley bumps it up to 6,000 and only Philachack calls.

The flop falls Diamond AHeart 8Heart 7 and Smiley checks to Philachack who bets 6,000. Smiley calls, and both players check the Spade 8 on the turn.

The river lands the Club 8 and Smiley bets out 11,000.

Philachack shakes his head back-and-forth and then folds his Heart 10Heart 9 face-up. Smiley shows his Spade 10Club 9 for the same hand but scoops the pot following the Philachack fold.

Zachary Smiley – 60,000
Andy Philachack – 38,000
