Smith Dodges Hearts to Double

Dan Smith was all in with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Carlos Mortensen looked him up with {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The flop fell {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, pairing Smith's kicker but giving Mortensen a flush draw. "Uhoh," Dan said as soon as he saw the flop. He held his breath through the {3-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Diamonds} river. Both were safe, and Smith doubled to 8,750.

"I have a theory that heart flushes come more often than any other flush," Smith deadpanned. "So I was very concerned."
