Jeremiah Smith - Eliminated.

Jeremiah Smith has been eliminated from the Main Event. After Geert Jans opened the pot for 40,000, Smith moved his whole stack of 168,000 in from the small blind. Jans made the call with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and found out he was up against Smith's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. Jans outflopped Smith, {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

, to make two pair. Smith still had his set draw and a gutshot straight draw, but the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

turn took away the straight draw. It hit on the river anyway when the river came {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Smith's Broadway straight wasn't as good as the queens full of aces held by Jans.

Jans is now over 1.5 million in chips.
