Smith Saved by the Board

Elliot Smith narrowly avoided elimination when he was tangling with an opponent on a board of {8-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The two got all their chips into the middle and Smith saw he was in trouble when his {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} was outkicked by his opponent's {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Things improved for Smith when the {6-Diamonds} came on the turn, followed by {j-} on the river, leaving the players to split the pot.
