Smajd Doubles With Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Stephen Kurland limped in and Anze Smajd made a raise behind before Mugur Iordan raised to 6,500. When it got back to Kurland, he folded, and Smajd made a tiny reraise to 9,000. Iordan shoved, and Smajd called off the remainder of his stack.
Anze Smajd: A♥A♦ 
Mugur Iordan: K♠J♦
Iordan gained some outs on the 9♦2♦J♥ flop and added a straight draw on the Q♣ turn. However, Smajd's bullets held up as the 3♦ river was a brick, and he doubled up.
