Jeffrey Lisandro completed from the button and Gavin Smith raised to 4,000 from big. Lisandro quietly announced he was all-in and Smith called.

Smith: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, giving Smith a better two-pair and leaving Lisandro with just 23,000.
