7♣4♣7♥7♠9♦
10♣9♥10♠Q♥K♣
Brian Smith was second to act and bet the pot of 1,250,000, leaving himself 275,000 behind. Danny Wong then shoved 2,150,000, and Xixiang Luo called. When it got back to Smith, he put in the rest.
Brian Smith: Q♠9♣9♠3♣ 
Danny Wong: A♥K♦10♥6♦
Xixiang Luo: K♥8♥7♦5♠
Smith flopped a boat on the bottom and had to fade the outs of Wong, who had trips on the same board. Luo was sitting pretty on the top board with trips and made quads on the turn to lock it up.
The bottom went Wong's way as he hit a bigger full house on the river, meaning Smith was out in fifth.
