He Brings Kings, But Gavin Havin' Aces

Gavin Smith
Gavin Smith

Gavin Smith raised from middle position, then an opponent reraised to 2,000 from the cutoff seat. It folded to the big blind who four-bet to 3,800, then Smith reraise-shoved all in for 13,650 total. The cutoff tanked for some time before finally letting his hand go, then the big blind immediately called Smith's shove.

The player in the big blind showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, but Smith had {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, and after the community cards came {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Smith had more than doubled up.
