Rob Jarrett-Smith Eliminated

"I had pocket tens at the time, so with just 14,000 it was obviously going in. When I saw Jen [Mason] messing with her chips, I thought, 'Here we go'. She had jacks and I didn't improve."

Jarrett-Smith also shed some light on the house-over-house encounter that crippled him. "I knew he had K-Q, I just knew it. Alan Trueick raised preflop and we both called. When I hit the set on the flop, I thought it was a perfect board to check-raise, but they both checked behind. I then check-called the turn, hoping Alan would come along for the ride, but he didn't. Then, on the river, I check-called again, and I even said, 'I know this is going to look really nitty but I'm sure you have K-Q.'"
