Gavin Smith Eliminated in 5th Place ($154,260)
Level 21
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Erik Seidel began the hand with the button and Jason Mercier raised from under the gun to 60,000. Seidel flatted and then play folded to Gavin Smith in the big blind. He reraised all in for around 600,000. Mercier came with a reraise of his own and shoved his entire stack into the middle. Seidel quickly folded.
Smith: 
Mercier: 
The flop, turn and river ran out 
to keep Mercier's queens in front and eliminate Smith from the tournament. Smith earned over $150,000 for his finish as Mercier inched closer to Seidel's leading stack.
