Smithern Stays Alive

[user198140] • Nivel 4: 75-150, 0 ante

The oldest player in the field is also one of the most entertaining to watch. Claude Smithern checked his option in the big blind after one player limped in preflop from early position.

The flop ran out {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Smithern bet 250 and his opponent called. The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and Smithern led out with 450 and his opponent called. The {j-Clubs} hit on the river and Smithern moved all in for his remaining 375 chips. His opponent made the call and turned over pocket nines.

Smithern turned up his hand saying he "had the Doyle Brunson" and revealed {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. When he was scooping up his chips he looked around and said "Hey Doyle, where the hell are you at?"
