Nicolaou Doubles Through Smith
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Razvan Sabau raised to 25,000 in early position. Sakis Nicolaou then jammed for 167,000 on the button and Mark Steven Smith, who started the day second in chips, called in the small blind.
Sabau quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Sakis Nicolaou: A♦K♣ 
Mark Steven Smith: A♠Q♠
Nicolaou's kicker remained in play on the 2♠9♣6♥7♦A♣ board and he doubled up, continuing Smith's downtrend.
