The Cards Don't Ly

Gavin Smith
Gavin Smith
On a flop of {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Gavin Smith bet pot, Minh Ly reraised all in, and Smith made the call.

Smith: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}
Ly: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Both had top and bottom pairs, but Smith had both straight and flush draws, too. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds}, giving Smith a better two pair. Then the river was the {J-Spades}, improving Smith to a flush.

Smith is up around 85,000.
