Kev Smith Chasing Aceys

On a board of 5 8 T Dave Maudlin bets out and is reraised all-in by Kev Smith. Dave thinks for several minutes before a third player calls the clock. He eventually makes the call, almost 30,000 and a large portion of his stack, showing just pocket 9s.

It’s a great call and the 9s are ahead to the A 8 of Smith, only for the A and T to follow and give Smith the better two pair and one of the largest stacks left.
