There was just about 25,000 in the pot as the river card completed a Kh7h4dTsJh board. Heads up and out of position, Jean Gaspard bet 17,500, and Mark Smith called.

Gaspard showed AdQh, and Smith tapped the felt in acknowledgement as he mucked. Gaspard won the pot with a Broadway straight, opening up a small lead on the rest of the table.

Jean Gaspard – 130,000 (163 bb)
