It was a hand that played itself. Jordan Smith opened all in from the button for 1.25 milion and Ben Lamb called. Lamb might have thought his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Spades}

was in the lead, but not after Smith turned over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

. One of the other players at the table told Smith that he had folded {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

.

"Don't tell me that!" said Smith. "I don't want to know."

Of course the flop came with two spades, {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, giving Smith a sweat. The turn {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

gave Lamb a couple more outs, but he mssed everything on the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

river. Smith doubled up to about 2.8 million.
