Gavin Grabs a Double

We found the ESPN camera crews swooping in on Gavin Smith's table to find him all in and at risk. Smith was holding {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Ercan Olgun's {A-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river the {7-Hearts}, giving a short-stacked Smith a double up. The World Series of Poker bracelet winner's stack is now sitting at 270,000.
