And the Double-Ups Keep Coming

Shamus

Jordan Smith is the latest to survive after being all in

We've had what seems an inordinate amount of players surviving their all-in bets and doubling up this level -- the kind of thing that can potentially wear down a player's patience.

Just now, Phil Ivey raised to 260,000 from the cutoff, and Jordan Smith reraised all in from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Ivey took a moment to consider the situation.

"How much is it?" he asked. Smith was all in for a total of 2.035 million. "I don't know if I can take this anymore," he added.

Ivey thought a moment longer, then made the call.

Smith showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

and Ivey

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

. The community cards came {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, and Smith is now up to 4.4 million. Ivey slips to 11 million.
