Niall Before Gueorguiev!

Smythy! Gone, but not forgotten
Smythy! Gone, but not forgotten
Falling in 11th place is young Niall Smyth. It passed to him in the small blind and he moved all in. Atanas Gueorguiev, in the big blind, was well aware of the circumstances and stacks, and made the call with {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. He was indeed ahead of Smyth's {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}.

Smyth's cards didn't last past the {6-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop, though, and Gueorguiev unnecessarily filled his house with the {A-Spades} on the river. Disappointed on narrowly missing out on the final, Smyth certainly didn't lack support from the rail.

Smyth won €24,400 and will probably be seen at the Irish Open next year.
