Late 2000s poker phenom Justin Smith completed with Qiang Xu calling from the next seat over.
Xu, who finished third in the $10,000 Stud Championship for $135,828, called all of Smith's bets from fourth to seventh street.
Smith was caught speeding as he sheepishly showed a jack-low. Xu tabled Ax6x6x for a T-7-6-4-A to take the pot.
Smith was left with just 12,000 after the hand and was eliminated shortly after.
PokerNews caught up with Smith at the 2024 WSOP, where he made his first appearance in nine years. You can find out what he's been up in this article.
