Smlali Gives a Short Stack a Double
Level 27
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a flop of 6♣7♠J♠, Otmane Smlali in the hijack bet 100,000, but the big blind raised to 250,000. After a few seconds, Smlali announced "all-in" and the big blind snap-called, being the player at risk for 575,000.
Big Blind: Q♦J♦
Otmane Smlali: 8♣7♣
Both players had a pair, but the big blind had the best one and it stayed this way on the K♣ turn and the A♠ river so the big blind doubled up.
