Alan Smurfit

Alan Smurfit has been using his WSOP bracelet as a card capper these last two days, but it hasn't proven to be a lucky charm this time around.

Cedric Rossi min-raised to 2,000 from UTG, Niklas Strom called from the small blind, and Smurfit moved all in for his remaining 5,000 from the big blind. Both of his opponents called.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

. Strom led out for 6,000, Rossi folded, and the cards were turned up.

Smurfit: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

Strom:

{5-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

Smurfit was drawing nearly dead to Strom's set, and the two sixes that landed on the turn and river made him a full house, eliminating Smurfit.
