It folded around to Mitchell Smith, who raised to 18,000 from the small blind, and James McManus called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Smith bet 20,000, and McManus called. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}. This time Smith checked, and McManus bet 44,000. Smith called.

The river was the {8-Diamonds}. Smith checked, McManus pushed all in, and Smith called with his last 160,000.

McManus showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a Broadway straight. Smith tried to muck, but someone at the table (we're not sure who) asked to see his cards. The floor was called over, and Smith's cards were revealed to be J-6 for a pair of jacks.

That information isn't of use to anyone playing against Smith now, as he's been eliminated. McManus, meanwhile, has crossed the million chip mark. He now has 1,075,000.
