Dan Smith raised it up from the hijack and Kevin Klassen called from the cutoff. The flop came {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Smith check-called a bet from Klassen.

On the {4-Clubs} turn card, Smith checked again and Klassen fired in another bet. Smith check-raised this time and Klassen thought for a moment before making the call.

The river brought the {8-Spades} and Smith tossed in a bet. Klassen quickly called this time and Smith showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Klassen turned over {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a rivered set, which left Smith on the short stack.

At the table next door, Robert Campbell was all in for his last 10,000 chips on the button with {q-Spades}{6-Spades}. He was called by Casey McCarrel in the big blind with {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Campbell was eliminated.

You were only getting about twenty to one."
