Smith Doubles Right Back

Stephen Ma raised to 36,000 in the cutoff seat before James Smith three-bet shoved from the big blind. It was 97,000 total. Ma quickly called, and he was a favorite to earn the knockout.

Showdown
Ma: {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Smith: {K-Spades} {4-Spades}

Smith found a king on the flop and another one on the turn, and the {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} board will allow him to stick around. He's doubled back to 218,000 with that pot, knocking Ma down under 600,000 in the process.
