Gavin Smith Bounces Back

Mar 13, 2011

The very next hand after losing his stack to Erik Seidel and Joe Sebok, Smith is all-in again, this time against Sebok and Maria Ho.

Ho turns over a single card, the [Ad], and jokes, "Come on, it is the best hand.  I don’t even need to show the other card."

Ho appears to be misinformed though, as Smith matches her by turning over the [Ah].  Sebok can only muster the [Qs].  After a few seconds, Ho reveals her other card, the [Jc] and Smith triumphantly turns over a jack of his own, the [Jh].  Sebok, meanwhile, is content to just show the queen.

The flop comes down [Kh6s3s] and Ho is immediately concerned that Sebok has the best of it.  

"You have top pair and a flush draw, don’t you?  You have [Ks][Qs]."  Sebok remains silent as the [6h] on the turn gives Smith a flush draw.  

Smith loudly cheers for a heart and is rewarded with the [10h] on the river, giving him the nut flush and the double up.  Sebok mucks his [Qs9d] face up and both Ho and Sebok pull out some money to rebuy.
