This is My Table

Posted 11 minutes ago

Eliiot Smith has moved up through the gears and is mixing it up in every pot. This is despite being on the same table as Team PokerStars Pros Humberto Brenes, Daniel Negreanu and Marcel Luske, along with Freddy Deeb.

Smith won three small pots on the bounce, the last against Deeb.

Deeb raised to 2,500 from mid position and was called by Smith (hijack), and Seamus Cahill (big blind). The flop came down and only Smith called Deeb's 3,500 continuation bet. The turn was and Deeb had had enough and check-folded to Smith's 4,500 bet.
