James Smart

James Smart has been hastily working his way up the leaderboard all day long, and the last check on his stack sees him surging over the 300,000-chip mark and involved in another pot.

The board showed Kh9h5c in three-way action, and the small blind checked. Smart bet 15,000 — about the size of the pot — next to act in the big blind. The player on the button folded, and the small blind called.

The turn was the Kd, and the small blind checked again. Smart bet 35,000 this time, and his opponent quickly surrendered his cards into the muck.

“All right,” Smart said. “I’ll show you guys one.”

He tabled Kc5h for kings full of fives as he collected yet another pot. This one moved him dangerously close to the 400,000-chip mark, and he’s now the overall leader in Event 1 by a significant margin.
