Smalley Spikes a King

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

From middle position, Quoc Vu opened to 11,000 before Larry Smalley three-bet shoved all in next to act for 141,500. The action found its way back to Vu, and he snap-called.

Vu: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Smalley: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

With Smalley in bad shape, the {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop gave him some new life, and the {J-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Needing to fade any ace or ten, the {9-Diamonds} river ensured Smalley the double to nearly 300,000, as Vu dropped to 917,000.

After the hand, the nine seat stated that he folded one king preflop.
