Tyler Smith Keeps Battling Back

After being down to less than 3,000 during Level 2, Tyler Smith managed to battle his way back up over the 20,000 mark thanks to several pots without a showdown and two big hands where he doubled thru Dwyte Pilgrim.

Smith his a minor setback when he is in the small blind and bets 2,000 on the river of a [Qs6d4hKh5c] board.  His opponent in the big blind raises to 6,200 total and Smith thinks for some time before calling.

The other player shows [Kd5s] for two pair and Smith sits motionless for a few seconds before flicking hs cards into the muck.

After losing the hand, Smith is still in much better shape than he was an hour ago.  He is down to 14,500.
