Smith Can't Find the Double Up
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nick Petrangelo raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Dan Smith three-bet jammed in the big blind for 275,000 to put himself at risk. Petrangelo quickly called.
Dan Smith: K♣K♥ 
Nick Petrangelo: J♥J♠
The dealer put out a monotone flop of 8♦7♦4♦, increasing the chances of a chop given that neither player had a diamond.
The turn fell the 9♦, putting out the fourth diamond and the river landed the 3♦, for a flush on the board to split the pot.
