Gavin Smith limped in, Matt Graham limped behind him, and the hijack seat limped all before the button raised to 1,400. Smith and Graham were the only two callers.

The flop came down {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and both Smith and Graham checked. The button fired 3,000, and Smith raised all in for 13,125 total. Graham asked how much the button had and then reraised to 50,000. The button folded and the showdown was on.

Smith held pocket sixes, {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, for bottom set and Graham had a flush draw with {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The turn and river both blanked when the {7-Spades} fell and then the {9-Hearts}. Gavin successfully doubled up.

Matt Graham was sure to inform us that before we report the hand, we should be aware that he and Smith have a bust-out bet between each other. To win, you have to bust out the other player. That gave a little more incentive for Graham to go for the knockout.
