Brutal Cooler Goes Smolka's Way
Level 32
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Dawid Smolka limped from the button and Johnny Lodden raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. Smolka limp-raised to 3,000,000 and Lodden shoved for Smolka's remaining 7,000,000. Smolka snap-called.
Dawid Smolka: K♠K♥ 
Johnny Lodden: A♠K♣
Smolka currently had the lead with two kings, but Lodden could hit an ace to end the tournament. The flop came J♠2♠8♠ to give Lodden a flush draw. The rest of the board ran out 5♦Q♥, which didn't help Lodden, and Smolka regained the chip lead.
