Level 50 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Down to less than a big blind, Dan Smith doubled up four times to give Ryan Riess a serious sweat. However, the fifth time was the charm for Riess.

On the fifth all in, Smith held {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts} and was all in for about 115,000. Riess trailed slightly with {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

The board came down {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, giving Riess trips to end Smith's run in the Round of 16.

Aces are Good

Level 50 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Blinds were 3,000/6,000.

Jack Duong was on the button and raised to 18,000. John Smith defended his big blind.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Smith check-called Duong's 20,000 bet. The turn was the {5-Spades}, and again, Smith check-called Duong's bet of 40,000. The river was the {q-Spades}, and Smith checked. Duong reached into his stack and bet 90,000. Smith called, and Duong tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Smith said, "Nice hand," and the pot was shipped to Duong.
