Smith Eliminated Just Before the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Players were just two eliminations away from the money when action was joined on a 4♥6♣10♥ flop. Dan Smith was all in and at risk and Quan Zhou called.
The cards hit their backs.
Dan Smith: A♥A♣Q♥3♦
Quan Zhou: K♣Q♦10♦4♣
Zhou was leading with two pair, tens and fours, while Smith had a pair of aces with a flush draw.
The 9♣ turn gave Zhou a flush draw as well and the 2♣ river would give him the winning flush to send Smith to the rail in 70th place.
