[user10554]

After a flop of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

, Matt Smith bets 90,000, Klein Kim Bach thinks for a bit and says, "All in," and Smith quickly calls with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

for a pair of kings. Bach says, "What have I done?" as he turns over {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

-- no pair, no overcards, and no draw.

But the turn card is the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, giving Bach a gutshot straight draw. The river card? The {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

.

The entire table gasps in shock, and Matt Smith is stunned. He was a colossal favorite after the flop, but now he is eliminated from the tournament in 11th place, just two spots away from a WSOP final table. Smith earns $33,012.
