Smith Doubles Too!

From table to table the camera crew raced. Elliot Smith and Tino Lechich were waiting on a camera crew for five minutes to complete their hand. Peter Rho had opened for 42,000, then folded after Tino Lechich called and Elliot Smith moved all in. Lechich was the one who made the call.

Smith: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Lechich: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

"I lose half my stack here," Lechich said glumly while waiting for the cameras. "Twenty eight percent," he added, referring to his EV in the hand.

Finally the cameras arrived, and the dealer started burning and turning. Lechich let out a hopeful "Hey..." at the turn with the board showing {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. He realized a deuce would give him a chop. But the river fell {5-Spades}, doubling Smith up to 720,000. Lechich is down to 415,000.
