Stud Games: 5,000 Ante, 7,000 Bring-In, 25,000 Completion, 25,000-50,000 Limits
Pot-Limit & No-Limit: 12,000/18,000 Ante, 6,000-12,000 Blinds
No Limit 2-7 Single Draw
On the last hand of No Limit 2-7 Single Draw, Dan Smith raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ali Eslami from the buttom. Smith drew one while Eslami stood pat.
After receiving his draw, Smith bet 100,000 leaving 17,000 behind. Eslami thought briefly before calling.
"Pair," announced Smith, who was reduced to crumbs after Eslami tabled 9x7x5x4x3x.
Stud Hi-Lo
On the first hand of Stud Hi-Lo, Smith paid his ante and was then the bring-in, meaning he was left with 5,000.
Jeremy Ausmus completed and the action folded back to Smith who put in the last of his chips.
Dan Smith: Q♣10♣ / 5♥K♣4♣4♥ / Xx 
Jeremy Ausmus: 8♥7♥ / 8♣2♥3♣6♣ / 6♠
Ausmus started with split eights and ended up making eights and sixes after he received all of his cards.
Smith had just a pair of fours, and had no chance of making a low. He needed king, queen, ten or four to stay alive but the A♦ was not what he wanted to see and marked the end of his tournament.
