Smith Finds a Double to Take the Lead
Level 35
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
John Smith on the button called the 30,000 blind, before Weston Mizumoto raised to 90,000 in the big blind. Smith elected to call and see a flop.
The flop came 10?3?5?, which Mizumoto decided to check. Smith then bet 75,000, before Mizumoto raised all-in for Smith's remaining 220,00 chips. Smith announced call and was at risk.
John Smith J?10? 
Weston Mizumoto 5?4?
It was John Smith's top pair ahead of Mizumoto's pair and flush draw. The 9? was a safe turn for Smith, and the 3? on the river secured the double up for Smith and allowed him to retake the chip lead.
