Ed Smith Eliminated in 2nd Place ($162,110)

Ed Smith - 2nd Place
Ed Smith - 2nd Place
Ed Smith limped in from the button and left himself with only a tiny bit more than one small bet left. Thang Luu opted to try and get his opponent all in and raised. Smith just called with a few thousand behind.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Luu stuck in the money to put Smith all in. Smith went with his hand, saying, "All right, let's go."

Showdown
Luu: {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Smith: {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts}

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and the river the {10-Diamonds} and that was it for Smith. He would be eliminated in second place, earning $162,110 for his efforts.

On the other hand, the winner, Thang Luu, completed an amazing feat by winning the event for the second year in a row! Don't forget, in 2007 he also placed second in this event!
