Ken Smith Eliminated in 50th Place ($190,053)

Hevad "Rain" Khan has assumed the role of the Amazon Room's most animated character; he just let out a series of primal yells after eliminating Ken Smith from the tournament.

Khan had made it 120,000 to go from early position and was called by Jerry Yang, before Ken Smith pushed all-in for a total of 1,375,000. After some thought, Khan made the call, saying, "I hope I read him right!" Yang got out of the way, and Khan turned over his pocket Jacks. After Smith revealed his pocket 10's, Khan yelled, "I read him right!"

The board filled out {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and as he waited for the river to be dealt, Khan yelled "Come on . . . Come on!" When the {A-Diamonds} came on the river, Khan threw both of his arms into the air, screaming, "Yeeeahhh!"

The win improved Khan's chip stack to 5,800,000, while Smith picked up $190,053 for his 50th place finish.
