FSPC Event #9 (Day 2): Immediate Action, Matt Smith Makes A Royal To Double

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #9 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 20 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/12,000)
Total Event #9 Entries: 341
Event #9 Players Remaining: 19

There was little sweat for Matt Smith (Margate, FL), who turned the royal flush against Juan Martinez's bottom set, helping him double up just under 1,000,000.

Just two hands back from break, we would approached a hand at Table 2, between Juan Martinez and Matt Smith.  On a flop of K J 6♣, Smith would lead out (for about 70,000), with Martinez raising to 200,000 (on the button).  TK Miles released his holdings, with Smith quickly announcing himself all-in (for just over 400,000).  Martinez made the call, and the cards would be on their backs:

Smith: Q 10
Martinez: 6 6

Turn: A
River: 2

It would be an open-ended straight flush draw for Smith, against Juan's bottom set.  The turn would bring gin for Matt, who made the royal flush, locking up the hand right there.

Matt Smith - 980,000 (81bb)
Juan Martinez - 190,000 (15bb)
