button in SafariSmith Finds a Double-Up
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Vincent Smith moved all-in for 365,000 from early position. The action folded around to Skremmydas Nikolaos in the big blind, who took some time before making the call. Both players turned over their cards.
Vincent Smith: K♠9♦
Skremmydas Nikolaos: K♥10♥
The J♥J♣9♥ flop gave Smith two pair, while Nikolaos picked up several outs with a gutshot straight draw, a flush draw, and the chance to hit a higher pair.
However, the 6♠ turn and 5♠ river brought no help for Nikolaos. Smith held on to win the pot and doubled up, giving himself another chance in the tournament.
