Charles Smith Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,000)
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
A monster pot just went down.
Jonathan Bussieres opened to 15,000, Frank Gregory called, Michael Mellor shoved all-in for around 90,000, Charles Smith called all-in for 65,000, Bussieres re-jammed over top, and after a moment agonizing over his decision, Gregory mucked his cards.
Bussieres: 
Mellor: 
Smith: 
Mellor let out a huge cheer as the dealer delivered a 
flop. The turn was the 
and Mellor hollered out again on the river as the 
fell giving him quads and nearly tripling his stack.
Smith was eliminated in ninth place earning $1,000.
