Douglas Smith Doubles Through Franco Cova

On a flop of {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {8-Hearts} Douglas Smith bet out, Franco Cova raised to 6,600, Smith reraised to 20,000, Cova moved all in and Smith called.

Cova: {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

Smith: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Cova flopped bottom two pair, but Smith had top two. The turn was the {A-Clubs}, sealing the hand for Smith and the meaningless {9-Hearts} fell on the river.

After the hand, Smith was up to 126,000 while Cova was down to 65,000.
