1 Takes Out 2
Oct 01, '08
Seated at table 2, both Cody "thugmoneymkr" Slaubaugh and Jason "icufish" Smith had been tearing up the field all day long. Both were 1 and 2 on the leaderboard when Slaubaugh's final hand came down to give Smith a monster chip lead.
Slaubaugh raised to 2,700 in the cutoff and Smith reraised to 8,500 on the button. Rory "moosedabator" Cox then moved all in for 14,200 in the big blind.
Slaubaugh then reraised to 22,000. Smith wasted no time making it 75,000 total. Slaubaugh then reraised to 155,000, leaving himself with only 20,000 or so behind. Smith moved all in and Slaubaugh called off the rest of his stack.
Both Slaubaugh and Cox showed A-K, but Smith held pocket aces. The board offered no help and Smith took out two opponents while boosting his stack to 460,000, more than 3.5 times the next largest stack in the room.

Over on table one, Gary DeBernardi was all in with pocket queens agains Jason "icufish" Smith's pocket kings. The flop and turn brought chop outs with an open-ended straight draw on board but the river was a queen, doubling DeBernardi and more than halving Smith's stack.
