Ship It To Gavin!

An early position player raised the action to 22,000 and Gavin Smith immediately made the call. It folded around to the player in the small blind who shoved all in for 146,000. The original raiser folded and, after a brief conversation with a cocktail waitress, Smith tossed in a call.

Smith: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

We were off to the races but Smith kept the lead as the flop fell {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The turn brought the {Q-Hearts}, giving his opponent four jacks as outs as well. Fortunately for Smith, the {6-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, giving him a set and the winning hand.
