CPPT Main Event (Day 3): Matt Smith Doubles Through Bretzfield, Vaults To Third In Chips

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #8 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($250,000 GTD)
Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/40,000)
Total Event #8 Entries: 310
Event #8 Players Remaining: 5


Matt Smith (Margate, FL) found himself in a solid position to double up, and would do just that, as he took a sizable chunk of Matt Bretzfield's stack.

Matt Smith was the shortest of the five players remaining, and after he opened the button with a raise, Matt Bretzfield announced he was all-in (having Smith well covered).  Smith verified that Bretzfield was indeed all-in (as it did sound like more of a question, than a statement from Bretzfield), and made the call, after peering back at his cards:

Smith: J♣ J
Bretzifled: 5 5♠

Runout: 10♠ 9 8♣ 2 3♣

"Bink," Bretzfield said, as the dealer prepared the runout...knowing he'd need a to spike something special to eliminate Smith.  The flop was a very favorable one for Smith, who held through the turn and river, and now has 1,700,000.
