It's been a tough day for John Smith, but he's still battling in the Day 1c field of the Main Event.

In this hand, he opened to 700 from early position and was three-bet by Wyatt Ault to 1,400. Smith called and the flop came {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

Both players checked. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and both players checked again.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Smith bet 1,000. Ault immediately raised to 5,000 and, after some consideration, Smith called.

Ault showed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for quad aces and won the pot.

"Can't beat that!" said Smith, mucking.

"It's hard to play that one," replied Ault with a smile.

Smith still has an above starting stack midway through Level 3.
