Big Double Up For Smith
Feb 16, '14
Ronnie Pease, one of the tournament chip leaders, just raised to 6,500 and Kim Sung called from the cutoff. Aaron Smith was seated on the button and he put 20,500 into the pot.
Pease went into the tank for quite a while but eventually he folded and Sung made the call.
The flop brought 373
and Sung checked after about 10 seconds and Smith fired another 20,500. Sung went into the tank for a bit and moved all in getting a snap-call from his opponent.
Sung: 88
Smith: KK
The board ran out 2, 10 and Smith received a big double up to around 200,000 leaving Sung with little chips.
