Dan Smith wasn't feeling well and decided last night to unregister in the morning. But he woke up too late and was already paired with his first draw when he got the poker room. Good thing.
There was 1,400 in the middle preflop on the final hand. On the 
, Dan Smith bet 850, and Billy Jordanou raised to 2,100. Then Smith moved all in for close to 10,000, and Jordanou called all in. Smith held 
, but his overpair had been outflopped by Jordanou's 
.
Jordanou and his rail called for him to hold. They liked the 
turn and started celebrating on the 
river. The dealer turned over Smith's cards, and then everyone realized that the paired board on the river meant Smith's queens up were good. Jordanou shoved his chips at Smith and left unhappily with his entourage.
Dan Smith is guaranteed $40,000 and will back on Friday to play in the semi-finals.
