Pocket Tens Shoot Dan Smith Up the Leaderboard
Dan Smith (pictured) was all in with pocket tens against Lazaro Hernandez’s [AxJx]. The tens held for Smith and he doubled up to about 375,000, leaving Hernandez with 85,000.
Shortly thereafter, Smith doubled up again with pocket tens, and this time it was through Nick Petrangelo.
After Zhuang Ruan opened to 16,000 from under the gun, Petrangelo moved all in from the cutoff seat. In the small blind, Smith went into the tank. He eventually tossed in chips to call off his stack for 364,000. Everyone else folded and it was Smith’s [TsTd] against Petrangelo’s [AcKs].
The board ran out [Qd5d2cQs2s] and Smith scored the double up to 760,000.
