Chhabra Sends Smith Packing
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the turn of a pot with about 1,500,000 in the middle as William Smith was already all-in and at risk. Rogen Chhabra from the big blind and He Zhou on the button played a side pot as Smith awaited his fate on a board of 9♥K♥7♠8♦.
Chhabra and Zhou both checked the turn to bring the 6♣ river. Chhabra put out a bet of 995,000, but Zhou was not interested, as she folded and sent Chhabra and Smith to a showdown.
"I got the nuts, I'm sorry, brother," said Chhabra as he rolled over J♦10♦ for a straight. Smith could do nothing but table his J♠J♣ and leave the tournament area.
