[Removed:14] has the button in Seat 9. Marty Smyth open-raises to 140,000. Action folds to Brandon Moran in the big blind, who point several times at his own stack and Smyth's stack and looks like he's doing math in his head. The math must have been favorable; after a minute he moves all in for a total of 135,000.

Moran: {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

Smyth:

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

The hand are fairly even until the flop comes {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

to make a set for Moran along with a redraw to a flush. The turn {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

helps neither player, and the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

on the river isn't enough to save Smyth's hand. Moran doubles up.
