Dan Smith Eliminated in 6th Place ($83,179)
Dan Smith was first to act and raised to 920,000, leaving only a single T-5,000 chip back. Nick Schulman called in the small blind and stood pat on the draw.
Smith drew one card, after which the players checked it to showdown. "Number three," Schulman announced, and tabled 7x6x5x3x2x.
Smith's hand disappeared into the muck as he placed his final chip as the big blind for the next hand. Ben Yu then limped in from the hijack before he called button Schulman's raise to 250,000.
Smith and Yu drew one card each, while Schulman remained pat behind. Yu checked to Schulman after the draw, but he folded once the six-time bracelet winner placed a bet of 175,000.
"You gotta beat an eight, cowboy," Schulman said to Smith as he showed 8x7x6x4x2x.
Smith had been drawing dead to Schulman's hand with his 9x6x5x2x, and he revealed an Ax as his final card before departing the stage.
