After Asa Smith raised to 15,500 from under the gun, Luis Ramon Rufas Acin moved all in for approximately 100,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Smith and he made the call.

Acin tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, but was dominated by Smith's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

and Acin was eliminated after Smith's flush was the winning hand.

Ciprian Cirstea questioned why Acin was eliminated, thinking that both players should chop with broadway straights. David Robinson leaned and over and said, "No, he had a flush." pointing to Smith. "Flushes beat straights in this game." he joked.
