Smolka Doubles Through Ensan
Level 24
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Dawid Smolka made it 800,000 from early position before Hossein Ensan three-bet to 2,100,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Smolka, he four-bet to 3,400,000. Ensan five-bet jammed to put Smolka all in, and Smolka happily called.
Dawid Smolka: K♥K♣ 
Hossein Ensan: 10♠10♦
Smolka was ahead with his Cowboys and just needed to avoid a king to double. The flop came K♠A♠7♣ to put Smolka firmly in the lead with a set of kings. The A♥ improved Smolka to a full house and left Ensan drawing dead. The 4♥ landed on the river, and the pot was pushed to Smolka, while Ensan was left on fumes.
