Daves Damaged (one out)

THE SPORTSMAN -- UK circuit player (and big winner this year in English festival Main Event) Dave Smith has been eliminated - with the {A-Diamonds}

. He was, however, down to just 2,425, and the pot was pretty small preflop - it looked like he might have raised to 600 and been called by his knocker-outer Joe Serock.

The flop: {9-Clubs}

, with Dave's opponent holding the {7-Diamonds}

. No help from the turn or river and we're down one more here at the Sportsman, which is starting to fill with a small early-evening gambling crowd.

Serock picked up another nice pot, this time from neighbour David Williams, just before the cameras came to catch the knockout: I caught the hand at the river with 10k+ already in the pot.

The board: {10-Clubs}
