Smith's Stack Takes a Hit

[user75032]

An unfortunate start for Jeremiah Smith

To start his Day 5, Jeremiah Smith flopped bottom set against Helge Pedersen. Bad news for Smith: Pedersen started his Day 5 by flopping top set against Smith. Somehow, the players resisted getting all of the money in until the river, with the board showing {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

. Smith tabled {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

and saw the pot pushed to Pedersen when Pedersen showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

.

Smith's stack has dropped below par, to about 700,000. Pedersen's double up puts him at 500,000.
