Smolka Doubles His Short Stack

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dawid Smolka was down to only 70,000 when he pushed all in from early position. Timur Margolin in the small blind reshoved, and Andress Merheb in the big blind got out of the way.

Dawid Smolka: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Timur Margolin: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop was safe for Margolin, but Smolka hit the {a-Diamonds} on the turn to take the lead. The river came the {j-Hearts} and Smolka doubled up.
