Dylan Smith raised in middle position and Gus Hansen three-bet in the cutoff. Smith called.
The flop came A♣K♦9♦ and Hansen bet. Smith folded, leaving himself less than one bet behind.
Smith raised for his last 65,000 under the gun the next hand, and Jesse Lonis three-bet in the cutoff. Dong Chen called in the big blind.
Lonis bet on the 7♦7♣4♥ flop and Chen called. Both players checked the A♣ turn, and Lonis then bet on the J♦ river. Chen folded.
Lonis turned over A♦9♣ for two pair, and Smith mucked K♠10♥ as he became the first casualty of the final table.
