Richard Smith Eliminated in 5th Place ($91,347)
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Once again, Richard Smith moved all in from the button for 16,300,000 chips. Christian Cheng folded in the small blind, but Jason Johnson in the big blind quickly called and stood up while revealing his hand.
Richard Smith: Q♥9♠
Jason Johnson: K♠K♥
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♣5♠A♦, which gave a pair of queens to Smith. However, he still needed another queen or a nine to avoid elimination. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't find the cards he wanted on the turn 5♥ and the river 6♣.
