Let the Coolers Begin

It's really hard to have two players all in this early in a deep-stacked tournament without a major cooler being dealt. Such was the case in a hand between Paul Smith and Fred Lopez, with Smith flopping top two pair on a board of {10-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and Lopez coming up with a set of eights. All the chips went in, with Lopez' set holding up. He doubled up to 26,000 and knocked Smith down to 5,000.
