It was a quick fall from grace for Pete Kaemmerlen. Not long ago he was sitting with more than a million in chips, but not he's sitting on the rail.

After losing a big pot to Bob De Wolfe, who hit runner-runner straight, Kaemmerlen played a big pot against Andre Smith.

We picked up the action on a {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop with around 150,000 in the pot when Smith led out for 70,000 from the small blind and Travell Thomas folded from middle position. Kaemmerlen then raised to 205,000 from the button, which prompted Smith to move all in. Kaemmerlen, who had about 300,000 or so back, called off.

Kaemmerlen: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Smith: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Smith had flopped the nuts, and the table seemed surprised he had led out with it. The {3-Hearts} turn left Kaemmerlen drawing dead, and after the {8-Spades} was put out on the river, Smith was pushed the massive pot.

"I donk bet the nuts for G-Money," Smith told us after the hand. G-Money will know what it means.
