Late Night Double for Julius

Dan Smith raised to 225,000 from the small blind and Kyle Julius defended from the big. When the flop fell {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Smith led out for 300,000 and Julius moved all in for 2.115 total.

Smith asked for a count, assessed what it'd do to his stack, and then hit the tank. During this time he eyed Julius, who broke out a smile. "I can't help but laugh," he said, much to the amusement of the rail. Julius chatted with the crowd a bit, inquiring what event he could play tomorrow if he were to bust. Smith's rail even chimed in, prompting their man to say, "Come on guys," with a hint of frustration in his voice.

A few moments later, Smith made the call.

Showdown
Julius: {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Smith: {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Julius was ahead with a pair of sevens, but Smith had a gut-shot straight draw to go with his ace. The {9-Diamonds} turn added a flush draw to Smith's out, but the {4-Clubs} river would not complete any of them. With that, Julius doubled right before the end of the night.
