Hand #168 - Elliot Smith | 2009 Aussie Millions

Stewart Scott has the button. He raises to 200,000 and Elliot Smith makes his move. He raises all in from the big blind and Scott stands up and asks for a count. The tournament staff count out the chips and determines that it's 1,195,000 more to make the call. Scott does in fact call and shows {Q-Clubs}

. Smith's

is a slightly ahead as his tournament life hangs in the balance.

The flop comes {9-Spades}

and Smith stays in the lead for the moment. The turn is the {K-Hearts}

which gives Scott a straight draw and more outs to eliminate Smith from the tournament. Elliot Smith must dodge a ten, jack or queen to stay alive and manages to do so when the {7-Spades}

falls on the river.

Elliot Smith doubles back up to 2,850,000 while Stewart Scott is still going strong with 8,135,000.
