Set Over Set Sends Smith to the Rail

After the hijack had limped, Huy Nguyen raised to 425 from the button. Ben Smith, who sports a big black cowboy hat and conjures up images of a rough and ready cattle-hand, proceeded to make the call from the small blind while the big came along for the ride. The original limper called the additional 250 and it was four-way action to the flop, which came down {7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

All four players checked, bringing about the {4-Spades} turn. At this point, Smith led out for 700, the big blind raised to 1,600, and the other two players got out of the way. Smith responded by moving all in for 4,775 and the big blind snap-called.

Showdown

Smith{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Big Blind{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Smith was left shaking his head after seeing the bad news. The {7-Clubs} river sealed the deal by giving the big blind quads, and Smith was sent to the rail.

Meanwhile, Nguyen is off to a good start, already up to 28,000.
