Smith Upsets Williams

David Williams and Emmitt Smith
David Williams and Emmitt Smith

We're not entirely sure what happened. After Leeann Tweeden finished an "exit interview" with Don Cheadle and Tom Dwan, MOC Jordan Siegel was at the back table, the last remaining match between Don Cheadle and David Williams.

"Emmitt needs a queen or a six to end the match," he said. "Here's the river..."

Well, we caught the board. {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}. And we caught Smith's winning hand, {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. We didn't see what Williams had but we assume it was at least a {9-}. In any event, Williams is busto.

Smith was gracious enough to autograph Williams' Cowboys jersey before the two left the stage, finally ending the first round of the Hearts Bracket.
