David Smith (pictured) survived an all-in near the bubble and a level later, is close to twice the chip average after a double versus Jesse Jones.
Smith raised to 22,000 in early position and Lieberman called on the button. Jones came in from the big blind and checked the 10♣5♥3♥ flop to Smith.
He bet 34,000 and Lieberman called. Jones looked at the two stacks next to him and shoved for 267,000 total. Smith wasted no time calling for 150,000 and Lieberman tanked for a few minutes before folding. Jones rolled over Q♥10♥ and had plenty of outs against Smith's A♦A♠.The J♣ turn and 9♣ river missed Jones and he sent over most of his stack to Smith.
David Smith - 400,000
David Lieberman - 360,000
Jesse Jones - 115,000
