Smith Escapes Set-Up with River Life Preserver
Niveau 32
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Chris Smith raised to 550,000 from the cutoff and Thomas Eychenne called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Smith checked, Eychenne bet 600,000, and Smith sprung to life with a check-raise to 1.4 million. Eychenne just called and the 
peeled off on the turn.
Smith jammed for 4.625 million and Eychenne snap-called.
Thomas Eychenne: 
Chris Smith: 
Smith had top pair and an open-ended straight draw but was behind the flopped set of sevens for Eychenne.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, a card that gave an excited Smith the straight. He popped out of his chair, clapped his hands, and not long after stacked his newly-won chips.
