Smith Versus Maas
We have had three out of four hands between Donald Maas and David Smith. First Maas opened to 125,000 and called the all in of Smith for 525,000 with 
for about one third of his stack. He lost the flip against 
on the 
board.
In the next hand Doc Barry won the blinds and antes with a raise to 125,000 from early position. Then Maas limped first to act and Smith raised to 205,000, only Maas called. On the 
flop, Smith bet 500,000 and called off the 880,000 all in from his opponent with 
. Maas turned over 
for the flopped nuts and the 
turn would have been his money card anyways. The 
river completed the board and Smith had less than two big blinds left.
Last but not least, one hand later, Smith moved all in for 75,000 with 
and Maas called in the big blind with 
. The 
flop delivered one of three aces in the deck and the remaining jack would not show up. Instead the turn and 
river completed the board and we are still ten handed.
