Elliot Smith
Elliot Smith

Action folded to Elliot Smith, who opened to 390,000 on the button, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Edgar Moreno pondered for around 30 seconds before moving all in for 395,000. Once the stacks were confirmed, Smith matched Moreno, and the pair were going to showdown exactly even in chips.

Elliot Smith: A♠2♣All in
Edgar Moreno: K♣10♠All in

Smith only had the slight edge preflop, but the Q♥6♥J♠ flop saw Moreno pick up an open-ended straight draw.

The K♥ turn gave Moreno top pair, but Smith also got a step closer to the straight.

Smith ultimately fell short on the A♦ river, as it locked up the Broadway straight for Moreno, and Smith hit the rail in 219th place for $10,100, having just made the pay jump.
