Smith Eliminated After Another Unfortunate River

Dan Smith managed to chip up a bit when he called a raise in the big blind from Ben Heath in the cutoff and then check-jammed the flop over Heath's continuation bet.

The next hand, Heath opened to 24,000 and Smith three-bet jammed from the small blind. Heath called with a bigger stack.

Smith was in good shape as the flop landed and the turn didn't change things. Smith only had to dodge an ace with one card to come, but he couldn't do it as the river brought the to mark his elimination.

That's not the first river card today that has doomed Smith. Less than an hour prior, he lost nearly his whole stack when he was one-outed by Juan Pardo, who held pocket nines and hit a nine on the river to double through Smith's pocket tens.
