Washington Eliminated

[user46392]

Paul Smith raised to 8,000 UTG, only for Kent Washington to reraise to 30,000. It folded around to Smith, who went all in for another 47,000. Washington thought about it for a long time, before calling him with pocket nines. Unfortunately for Washington, Smith had pocket aces. No nines or other small miracles on the board, and Smith enjoyed a full double up to 188,000, while Washington was down almost to the felt.

And indeed, the very next hand Washington stuck it in with J-Q and got himself called by A-K -- with no help from the board, he is now OUT.
