Smajd Doubles With Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Stephen Kurland limped in and Anze Smajd made a raise behind before Mugur Iordan raised to 6,500. When it got back to Kurland, he folded, and Smajd made a tiny reraise to 9,000. Iordan shoved, and Smajd called off the remainder of his stack.
Anze Smajd: A?A? 
Mugur Iordan: K?J?
Iordan gained some outs on the 9?2?J? flop and added a straight draw on the Q? turn. However, Smajd's bullets held up as the 3? river was a brick, and he doubled up.
