Sealey Seals the Deal

Conor "Sealey" Tate has more than doubled up to around 170,000 with aces.

He raised to 11,100 preflop, and Paul Smith to his direct left made it 30,000. A short-stacked Charles Dolan called all in, and Tate reraised all in -- Smith asked for a count, and was told it was around 40,000. Smith called.

Dolan: {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Smith: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Tate: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

Tate scooped the lot, Dolan was eliminated, and Smith had to pay up, but it turned out the dealer had miscounted the chips. Eventually the floor ruled that Smith had to pay the extra chips regardless -- he looked rather sour as he said, "1,000 more?" holding up a single yellow chip. But then he laughed as he handed it over to Tate.
