Foxen stood pat and Smith took one. Foxen then moved all in. "Mind if I squeeze?" Smith asked as he slowly peeled his last card. "All in," he instantly said as he put in his last 765,000.
Foxen showed 8x7x6x5x2x, but Smith had caught 7x6x5x3x2x to win the pot and double up, leaving the former chip leader as a short stack.
"How did that get all in?" Daniel Negreanu asked from another table.
"I three-bet, he four-bet. I called, then I caught it," Smith replied.
"So you hit gin," Negreanu added.
