Smith Doubles Through Polk

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Doug Polk raised to 600 from the small blind. Mike Smith quickly went all in for his last 6,200 from the big blind and Polk called to put Smith at risk.

Mike Smith: J?J?
Doug Polk: Q?Q?

Polk was in great shape to end Smith's Main Event early, but the 6?6?7?A?J? runout drilled Smith's two-outer on the river �� awarding him the double up.

"This is how it begins," Polk said with a wry smile.
