Kent Hunter during Day 1 action

Four players saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

and the action checked to Scott Smith on the button who fired out 2,500. Kent Hunter in the small blind then check-raised all in for his last 19,300. The table folded to Smith who made the call.

Smith: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

Hunter:

{K-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

Hunter was in front with top pair, but Smith had a pair and flush draw combo. The turn improved Hunter to two pair when the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

fell, but the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

on the river gave Smith the wheel straight to end the tournament for Hunter, as the man they call "Punty" now sits with a healthy 85,000 chips.
