Hand #24 - Marco Traniello Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,925)

Hand #24 - Jon Friedberg has the button in seat 7, Traniello raises from the cutoff to 50,000, Smith reraises from the big blind to 158,000, Traniello moves all in, and Smith asks for a chip count. It's an additional 111,000 to Smith (a total bet of 269,000), and he makes the call with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Traniello shows {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive in this race situation.

The flop comes {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, and Smith retains the lead with his pocket pair. The turn card is the {9-Clubs}, and Traniello needs an ace or a king to survive.

The river card is the {7-Hearts}, and Smith takes the pot with his pocket jacks.

Marco Traniello is eliminated in ninth place, earning $14,925. The next player eliminated will receive $20,255.
