Smith Takes the Lead
John Smith and Darius Samual seem content to joust in mostly small pots, with many of them failing to grow larger than several big blinds.
Smith was recently able to win a couple of pots back-to-back to assume the chip lead.
In the first hand, Smith limped on the button and Samual checked his option in the big blind. Action then checked down on the 3♣8♦J♦ flop and 5♣ turn. Samual led out for 15,000 on the Q♠ river and Smith called.
Samual tabled Q♦2♠ for a pair of queens and Smith turned over Q♥9♣ for the same pair with a superior kicker to take down the pot.
On the very next hand, Samual raised to 40,000 on the button and Smith called.
Smith check-called a 31,000 bet from Samual on the 4♣9♦Q♦ flop and then both players checked down on the 6♦ turn and 4♠ river.
Smith turned over A♣10♣ and Samual mucked — conceding the pot to Smith.
