Aron Busts Smith To Grab The Chip Lead
Michael Aron just took over the chip lead after busting two opponents. Dan Smith had opened the action with a raise to 9,000 in early position and the next player to act shoved for 48,000. Aron was in late position and re-raised all in with the biggest stack of the bunch. The button and blinds folded, Smith called, and the cards were on their backs.

"If you are going to bust me, might as well be with quads," said Smith.
