Kelly Smith shows no fear

Kelly Smith has definitely been the most active player on table 65, and in the last few orbits we’ve seen her stack go on a virtual roller-coaster ride. She managed to grind her stack up to over 400K before sending around 250K over to Jason Griffith in a hand that made it to the river, but didn’t showdown. She then proceeded to move all-in preflop several times in the next few hands, all of which were uncalled, and picked up some valuable blinds.

Holding a little over 300K, she 3-bet jammed Jerome St-Onge’s preflop open to 40K from early position, and got the call. Her King of Hearts 9 of Hearts and was up against Ace of Hearts Jack of Spades, but the board of 7 of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds King of Clubs Ace of Diamonds 5 of Spades ran in favour of Jerome, who doubled to over 500K, leaving Kelly with only 54K.

The very next hand she was all-in (blind) with 9 of Clubs 4 of Clubs versus Jason’s 3 of Clubs 3 of Spades, and doubled her stack up on a 10 of Diamonds 9 of Hearts 2 of Spades Queen of Hearts 5 of Diamonds board.

A few hands later, she found herself all-in again, this time with Ace of Clubs 6 of Clubs versus the Queen of Spades 4 of Spades of Trieu Dung Hong. She paired her ace on a 4 of Diamonds Ace of Diamonds 8 of Hearts King of Spades Jack of Spades, and climbed up to 295K. A few hands later she 3-bet jammed again over Jerome’s 40K UTG raise, and this time managed to make him fold. She is now nearing the 400K mark again.
