Gavin Smith Gets Flushed

Gavin Smith
Gavin Smith
We walked by just as Gavin Smith moved his stack into the middle on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. His opponent called and showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the draw against Smith's top pair with {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

The {A-Diamonds} on the turn took the hand away from Smith and he was up from the table before the meaningless {8-Clubs} landed on the river.

Also eliminated from the table was Emily Jillette who got all in preflop with pocket queens only to find herself against kings. She didn't improve, and her day ended early.
