Smith Hangs On For a Massive Double

Patrick Martorella raised to 150,000 on the button and Kyle Smith called in the big blind.

The flop came 8♦7♦5♠ and Martorella bet 210,000. Smith then raised to 575,000, and Martorella called.

Smith checked the 2♣ turn, and Martorella moved all in. Smith went deep into the tank as he considered the decision for his last 2,575,000.

"Will you show if I fold?" he asked Martorella.

"I'll show if you show," Martorella replied.

"We both might end up showing," Smith added. Several minutes went by before he eventually called.

Kyle Smith: J♦8♠ All in
Patrick Martorella: 4♦3♦

Smith was ahead with top pair, while Martorella had straight and flush draws. "Please hold," Smith pleaded, and he got his wish on the 10♣ river.

"Let's go! That's a huge call with a bunch of short stacks around," Smith shouted out as he earned the massive double up.
