Smith Doubles Through Oulmekki

From under the gun, Gavin Smith open-shoved for 302,000 and the action folded around to Selim Oulmekki, who snap-called out of the small blind. "What, you have something like eight-deuce?" Smith quipped.

Nope. Oulmekki showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, ahead of Smith's {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. However, Smith was able to spike two pair on the board of {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{4-Spades} to double up.
