Smith Needs a New Strategy
Niveau 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dan Smith was out of position in a heads-up pot against Platinum Pass winner Diego Cuellar on a flop of 
.
Smith, who tweeted earlier in the event that his poker strategy is to "generally just bet half pot and hope for the best," did precisely that as he bet 13,000 for a little more than half pot. Cuellar called.
Smith stuck to a similar strategy by betting 32,000 on the 
turn before Cuellar again called. Smith opted to try something new on the 
river and checked before Cuellar checked back. Smith tabled 
for ace-high, which was no good against the 
of the Platinum Pass winner.
