Michael Smith Eliminated in 23rd Place ($36,220)
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Alexander Yen raised to 3,200,000 in early position, which was met with an all-in by Michael Smith, for roughly 15,800,000. Action folded back to Yen, who made the call.
Michael Smith: Q♠Q♣
Alexander Yen: K♥K♣
A nasty cooler for Smith so deep into the tournament, and no help was forthcoming on the 10♥3♣5♦ flop.
The turn 3♥ and river A♣ were also unable to assist, and he departed in 23rd place.
