Smith��s Stack Soars after Knockout, then Cracking Kings
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Moments after sending Hugo Nazar to the rail with 5?5? against 2?2?, Shawn Smith found himself in another big hand.
After facing a three-bet from Mikael Anderson, Smith responded with a four-bet, moving all in for 3,075,000 against Anderson, who had Smith covered. Anderson immediately called to bloat the pot.
Shawn Smith: A?J? 
Mikael Anderson: K?K?
The dealer fanned 9?3?2? on the flop, keeping Anderson in the lead. The turn, however, put Smith ahead when A? appeared. The dealer placed 7? on the river, which provided Smith a boost to his stack and crippled Anderson.
