Gavin Smith Doubles Through Bengt Sonnert

I heart queen-ten
I heart queen-ten
A short-stacked Gavin Smith got it all in preflop with {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and Bengt Sonnert gladly made the call holding {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}.

The flop was {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}, Sonnert's kings still safe, but the {Q-Hearts} spiked on the turn making Smith two pair. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Smith doubled up to 11,000.

"Now you know you're destined to win this tournament," joked his tablemate Yuval Bronshtein.

"No. Now I know I'm destined to last until 1:15!" he laughed with a look at his watch.
