Bjorn Verbakel was first to act and shoved 900,000, and when it got to Brian Smith, he made it 1,900,000. Danny Wong was behind and shoved, and Smith quickly called off his stack of around 5,000,000.
Bjorn Verbakel: J♣10♥8♥3♥
Brian Smith: Q♦J♦9♠7♠
Danny Wong: K♣K♠8♠4♠
Smith had flopped a flush draw on the top along with the nuts on the bottom, and improved to a flush on the top turn. The rivers changed nothing and Smith scooped a monster pot to send Verbakel out in sixth.
