Smith and Delfoco Fall in Double Elimination
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
A short-stacked Elliot Smith moved all in from middle position for his last 4,500 and China's Yaxi Zhu, who qualified for this tournament via a live satellite, three-bet to 11,000 from the hijack. Italy's Francesco Delfoco then moved all in from the button for right around 17,000, and after the blinds folded, Zhu made the call to put both her opponents at risk.
Zhu: 
Smith: 
Delfoco: 
Smith and Delfoco were disappointed to discover they were sharing cards, and the latter stood and began collecting his things. The 
flop gave him pause as he was the only one with a spade, but then he let out an exasperated "Pwwww" when the 
turn gave Zhu quads.
The 
completed the board on the river, and Zhu sent two players to the rail.
