Dan Smith the Second to Go

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

It took less than a level for the first elimination of the day, which was Stefan Schillhabel. Not long after, Dan Smith joined him on the rail.

After losing most of his stack holding aces into a set of queens, Smith shoved his last 9,500 from the small blind and Sergio Aido called from the big.

Aido: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Smith: {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Smith was looking to pair his overcard, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out a lowly {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

This tournament allows for a single re-entry, and only time will tell if Smith opts to fire again.
