Peyton Smith Eliminated in 8th Place ($20,669)

Peyton Smith opened in early position and was called by Stephen Torre, who defended his big blind. The flop dropped and Torre checked to Smith, who continuation-bet 225,000. Torre check-raised to 675,000 and Smith thought for a little over a minute before announcing he was all in for around 2.3 million. Torre instantly called.

Torre's top pair of queens was ahead but he needed to fade straight outs as well as an overcard. The turn and river complied with Smith unable to further improve, bringing about his elimination in eighth place.
