Smith Turns an Ace to Crack Anderson's Queens
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Willie Smith had his stack of around 1,150,000 in the middle from the hijack and was put at risk by Calvin Anderson in the small blind.
Willie Smith: A♣Q♥ 
Calvin Anderson: Q♦Q♣
Smith was way behind and didn't improve on the 5♣6♥J♣ flop. However, the A♥ on the turn was exactly what he was looking for and left him one card away from a double-up. Anderson only had one out, but couldn't find it as the 4♠ rolled off, earning Smith some much-needed chips.
