A Gift for Gavin

Two players and the small blind limp to Gavin Smith's big blind, but Gavin pops it to 6,400. One of the limpers calls and the flop is {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Smith bets out 8,300 and is min-raised to 16,600. He then reraises an additional 20,000 and gets a call.

After the {j-Hearts} falls on the turn, Gavin shoves in his last 19,500. He's called and quickly shows {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for top set. His opponent shows {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and is drawing dead. The river is a meaningless {7-Spades}.

Gavin doubles up to approximately 130,000 with the win.
