Two Dans Down

Dan Smith

Dan Smith won't be adding to his €50k crown here, he opened for 2,000 before Chris Brammer made it 5,025, Smith responded with a four-bet to 9,300 with around 25,000 behind.

Brammer tanked for a couple of minutes before setting the American all in, getting snap-called for his trouble.

Brammer: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Smith: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out a Brit-friendly {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to knock Smith out.

At the same time, Rui Cao had opened in the small blind to 2,200 and decided to make the call when Dani Stern pushed all in for around 22,000.

Cao: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Stern: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The board came {2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades} and it looked all good for Stern but the river was the {10-Clubs} to make Cao's straight and a wordless "Ansky" left quickly.
